We appear to be speaking at cross purposes. I don't understand what you
mean by "Backup my contacts list" and "restore the file". Didn't you try
simply logging into Skype on the second machine, without copying
anything? To repeat, that's all I've ever had to do and all my contacts
just follow me around. I've done this on Linux, MacOS and Windows.
