Is the Address Book in Thunderbird the same file as C:/Users/<name>/Contacts?

I want to know because I am creating a backup system and have included C:/Users/<name>/Contacts, which seems sensible. However, that file has only 44 KB and two files, which implies that it is empty. Actually, I have never used Windows 7's Contacts and don't know how to. The only use I have for keeping contact is to send and receive emails in Thunderbird (mine has a very big Address Book) and I have never knowingly used the C: drive's Contacts.

Therefore:

1- Am I wasting my time backing up the C: drive's Contacts?

I know how to export Thunderbird's Address Book as LDF or Comma Delimited and could manually back that up.

2- Would that be the best way to backup all my contacts (as mentioned above, that means my Thunderbird Address Book).

Thanks.

I'd suggest you back up your whole profile. Why limit yourself to just your address book?

The particular files you're looking for have a mab extension. But since you can backup your account settings, email message store, extensions, files, customizations and so on for very little effort, why separate out just your contacts?
