Default Move contacs to sd card?

Ok. So...i've been having a lot of problems with my q. I don't have any third party apps on it. I only have pics and music on the sd card. I've two qs. The sd card slot died on the first one. and then the second one has been nothing but problems. I've had to take it into the alltel store twice and have it fixed bc it keep freezing at the startup screen just before the screen that says windows mobile. This has had to be done twice. Both at the most inconvenient thing. The only thing that I have lost is all my settings and my contacts. Over two hundred the first time and when i seem to have most of them back this is what happens. I want to be able to have my contacts backed up on the card so that i don't lose them again. Is this even possible?

Yes, go through file manager and copy pim.vol over to your storage card. I even make a copy & store it on my computer.

then reboot the phone
