Spoke too soon, it looks like it doesn't stay across reboots...

And while they are shown in the "people" app, I can't export all of them as a vcard to do a normal import later on and be back on good tracks..., as the following command create an empty file:
[nemo@Sailfish ~]$ devel-su -p vcardconverter --export contacts.vcf

[W] unknown:0 - The 'mergePresenceChanges' option has not been configured - presence changes will only be reported via ContactManagerEngine::contactsPresenceChanged()
[D] unknown:0 - Exporting 0 contacts
[D] unknown:0 - Wrote 0 contacts
Doing a regular backup with the menu in the settings page gives a tar file in which the "People/data/all.vcf" is empty (size 0).

I will try the laborious task to select the all one by one in the people app to export them (there is no "select all" option), but we are talking of close to 200 contacts, so this will take some time.

Not sure what else to try to export the contacts from the database to vCard files to later try a regular import. Any ideas ?
