Help Backup contact pictures

Anyone know of a way (or App) that will backup the DX's contact pictures?

Before anyone answers this, I know there are apps that will backup your contact info and you can manual export the DX's contact info via a vcf file but what I'm specifically looking for here is the pictures/images also be backup'd (or are they in the vcf file?).

Thanks to anyone that can clarify things for me.
 
I think your Google account does this already. Log into your gmail on your computer and check your contacts list.

Im pretty sure it does since contact pics I set up on my incredible showed up on my x after I put in my google account. Plus the only way I was able to get those contacts I set pics for on my incredible to sync there facebook pic on my x was to go into gmail and delete the picture that was saved. I think you should look again.

Two posts and your already telling people they're incorrect? You are actually incorrect bud. If you sync you contacts with google and have your google account set to save phone contacts, it WILL save your pictures that are not Facebook related.
 
Actually, you are both correct. Google does sync up photos between your Android contacts and your goggle contacts, HOWEVER.... if, for some reason, your contacts become hosed on both ends, say you accdentally deleted them on both sides, AND you had the foresight to export your google contacts to a file. When you re-import all your contacts from the file you'll find that google does not save contact photos in it's export, you'll have to manually go back thru all of them and add the photos individually, which I guess is still better than totally losing everything.
