How to save contacts?

[Amit Mishra3]

I want to know if contacts will automatically come again after formatting my phone if I use same "@live.com" id which im using right now or not. Are there any other ways also to save contacts?

re:

Yes. They are automatically saved in your live account. You can check that, and more, if you go to http://outlook.com click on People here and you'll see what contacts are stored online.

Same applies to agenda/calendar and a few other things. If you have WP8.1 Update, then after a hard reset even the live tile configuration on your start screen is saved in the backup.
