Open your most recent PST backup with FileOpenOutlook Data File. Open the
Contacts folder that PST contains, select all the Contacts in it, and copy
them to the main Contacts folder. You'll need to handle duplicates somehow.
One fairly easy way is to delete the contents of the main Contacts folder
before copying the enteries in the backup Contacts folder. If there are
entries in the main Contacts folder that aren't in the backup because you
added them after the backup, then copy those to the backup Contacts folder
first so you have a complete set. You can re-add those mail addresses
manually, as there shouldn't be many that need fixing.

Brian,

I owe you an apology. I didn’t see this reply, I only seen the next one
down where you ask how I made my backups. If I had seen this posting, then I
would have understood what you meant about "Coping" the contacts. Russ got
under my skin a bit with his condescending attitude, and when I went back to
re-read your reply, I only read what I thought was the only one that you talk
about restoring the contacts. Sorry about that, this one must had slipped
in and I didn't even notice.

Thanks for your help.

Daryl
