Archiving your address book

You can archive your address book so that you have a backup copy of it in case you need to recover your original information or if you want to move the information to another computer. It’s a good idea to archive your address book before you make extensive changes, such as importing new addresses or reorganizing groups.

To archive your address book:

  1. Choose File > Export > Address Book Archive.

  2. Choose a name for the file, and select where you want to export the file.

    To further safeguard your address book archive, copy the file to an external hard drive or CD.

If you have made inadvertent changes to your address book, you can replace it with a previous version by importing an archive file. If there are new or changed cards you don’t want to lose when you import the archive file, export those cards as vCards first (and then import them after you have imported the archive file). To import an archive file, choose File > Import.

I want to export my wife's address book from her imac onto my laptop in a separate  account  and I am not too sure how to do it. Rather than me mucking both computers up I thought I would ask my 'youngers' and betters :-)  TIA
