Outlook contacts are very important to us. As Outlook is a computer based application, so it can crash anytime. For safety purpose and to save our most valuable time we need to create a backup file of our outlook contacts. Using Outlook Export and Import wizard you can export contacts from Outlook 2013, Outlook 2016 or from Outlook 2010. All the contacts can be exported directly to MS Word, MS Excel or Microsoft Access. Alternatively, you can save all the contact data to a file so that you can import them quite easily. Moreover, you can import all the contact data to any outlook account. Let see how to backup contacts from Outlook.
