How do I recover addresses from a backup?

Jonathan Goble

I had to reformat my hard drive and reinstall when I upgraded to Leopard.
Now I can't locate my address book from Entourage. Any clues where it might
be?

Hi Jonathan!

Your Entourage address book is contained within the entire Entourage
database found in ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Main Identity where "
~ " is your own home folder. The default name for your identity folder
is "Main Identity" but it may be named something else if you've ever
changed it.

If you reformatted your hard drive then you must have made a backup
first. Find your old "Main Identity" folder and copy it into place onto
your Leopard system.

Hope this helps!
