Solid and well-reasoned advice, Irene. Too often the matter of our needing to access key-data when Linkedin may be down is overlooked but, it can be quite costly…Thanks, Irene!

Oh yeah, I back that up regularly … not. Last time I did was a year and a half ago! Thanks for the reminder.

Is there an equivalent function on FB?

Hi Irene,
Thank you so much for the information. I backed up my contacts, imported them into my Mac address book, put them into a separate list and also saved a .pdf file of my profile page.
I appreciate your advice and assistance. Backing up is always a great idea!!!
Thanks again, Andrea

I export to .csv and then import into gmail. What are you using for your contacts? This works with most programs.

Thanks, Irene…Just went to do it, and now know why I haven’t done it before. It only gives options that I don’t use (Outlook, Yahoo, Mac, etc.). I tried .vcf, but am not sure I’ll ever be able to open or use it.

Thanks, anyway! )

Many blessings,
Nancy
