If you sync Contacts with Gmail, or another program (Windows allows Outlook or Windows Mail, I'm sure Mac allows something similar) then you always have a backup. It's a 2 way sync, so anything you add or edit on your phone will get backed up OTA (Gmail) or the next time you sync with your PC or Mac. Just one way to ensure that you never lose any of your contacts.
Be careful if you choose to sync with Gmail, though. It only stores thumbnail photos, so if they change to full screen, they will be very pixelized similar to syncing contact photos with Facebook.
