Hello all,
I would like to "backup" my Android phone's contact data so that when the eventual day comes that my phone is stolen, I'll still have the phone numbers I need.
My phone is a distinct entity and I DON'T want the contact data to necessarily exactly match the contacts data in Gmail (but thank you Google for assuming you know what I would want). I would like to use the synching feature to essentially back up my phone's contact info, and in Gmail, I can simply delete any new Contacts that Gmail creates "automatically" so they don't get uploaded to my phone when I resynch. I think this would work.
My question is this: I've deleted all my (automatically-generated) contacts in Gmail, and I now want to "synch" (in my case, "backup") the contact info from my phone. But how do I know the process won't simply delete my phone's data to "synch" with Gmail's contact list (which is empty)?
I have a Chinese-made Gaoke B63M Dual SIM 3G WCDMA MTK6573 Phone
I'm running Mac OS 10.6 on a MacBook Pro laptop using Firefox and sometimes Safari
