Thats indeed a risk, how ever if you use OVI suite, it has a built in editor. There is no need to use something like outlook for it.
As I am not using windoze, I cant check it right now.

if you can find the address book data in the backup, edit and repack it, I do not see any risk. If it goes wrong, you always can restore an untouched backup.
