Addressbook - Where does it live

I want to stash my addressbook so I can try to produce a significantly
smaller address book.  Then I'll sync my phone to that, then put the
original one back in place.

I accidentally sync'd my phone and now it has insurance agents for
policies I no longer have, and all kinds of other muck.

So where do the pertinent files live. How 'bout for iCal too, while
we're about it...

Thank you and have a nice day.

Well, you can save your current address book under File/Export (and you
can restore it under File/Import); that's how I sync my address book up
with the ol' Woman's when I need to. Ical has Backup and Restore under
the File menu.

I sync my RAZR to a specific group in Address Book. Can't you do that?

Wow, I don't do it often so I hadn't fussed around with it.  But yes,
the iSync program will allow me to state my preferences.  Thanks.

I wanted to know where my addressbook's stuff was anyway.  So thanks to
others for letting me know.
