Does any one here know where address book keeps its files?

I have a backup of my whole drive and I am trying to restore the address book addresses. The drive that has the backup is not bootable so I am not able to run the make backup in the address book program.

Any Ideas. I would love to just drag them in and drop them on top and replace what is there. Similar to what I did for my email.

Thanks!

It lives in your Users/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder. Make sure you get the index files!

I copied everything over. I actually did some searching on the board and found something else hidden in here about that folder. You both suggested the same thing. THANKS alot!
