What file to look for on my hard drive backup to recover my Entourage contact list?

[lblb]

Version: 2004 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Hi,

I have a back up of all my hard drive on a back up drive. Good news.

But...

I just had a new drive installed and I had to re-install Entourage (too long to explain why), and I my Entourage contacts were not transferred to the new drive.

I want to import my contact file from my back up drive but I don't know what file to look for and where to look for.

Any suggestion? Thanks

If you simply drag over your Main Identity from your old drive it will have
all your old data. Entourage does not store your contacts in a separate
file. All data is stored in a database.

~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2008 Identities/your identity
