mhm... just use the backup-tool in the application view (it's named "Backup"). then choose contacts (and other points as well?!) and make the backup. after that connect your phone as mass-storage to your pc and copy the file in the folder "backups" to your pc

if the folder "backups" doesn't show up you can open a x-terminal and type "cp -r MyDocs/backups/nameofbackup/ MyDocs/Mac\ OS/"
EDIT: better:
cp -r MyDocs/backups/ MyDocs/Mac\ OS/backups/
as you don't have to know how your backups are named (even though you could do a "ls" first or while entering a double-"tab")

Contacts>Menu>Export>All or Selected contacts>vCard 2.1 or 3.0> Location mmc1
and then I duplicate this files onto my desktop, using SSH/winSCP here, http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=23932
This way, it is a backup that does NOT depends on anything.
