You can see your backups, if memory serves, by logging in to your account on Outlook.com. There is no other way to backup your contacts.

At you account on outlook.com > people > manage (at the top) > export. Two choices for the format. This will download a csv file of your contacts to your PC.

I've got a question about backing up Lumia 625. When you swipe left, and then click on 'contents backup', under 'Storage Location' one of the offers is 'Send to email'. Will this send ALL the contacts (both email AND phone numbers) to your email address?
