Backup and Sync Contacts - Plaxo
Plaxo is actually a full-fledged social networking site now, but one of the greatest features of it is the ability to backup your address book from your Mac or PC for free.
Any address that you have on your volatile computer is safe on Plaxo because it automatically syncs without you even noticing it.
Also, if anyone in your address book is also a member with Plaxo, if they ever update their information, it is automatically updated on Plaxo, and in your local address book.
It will send you Birthday reminders to give you a great excuse to contact people you want to stay up with and will link with other websites, blogs, and calendars to keep everything in one place.
Some nice features, for free. Check it out here.

How can you tell Plaxo which Outlook contacts folder I want to be the “Master”? I have 3 PC’s at home and the work one. Plaxo keeps messing up the various Contact folders vs letting me define which one is the “Master”. Any help?
I use a mac, and therefore don’t use Outlook, but here are some things I have found on their forums.
“The service is not quite designed to be used this way, but it may work if you only need this for a handful of machines. Basically you could:
- set up one Plaxo account
- have each machine link to that same Plaxo account
(note that then they can’t link up to a separate Plaxo account at the same time)
- note we do now have a 10k limit on the number of contacts for one Plaxo account”
So, it looks like every computer you have would have ALL contacts on them.
You may also try to search their forums yourself - http://forum.plaxo.com/.
Hope this helps!
