Backup contacts sample code or example from iPhone

Question

I want to take backup of my iPhone contacts using iCloud. How it is possible to take a backup programmatically in my iPhone application? Is there any sample code or example?

It is not clear what you want to achieve. You can use (or have your users use) iCloud to back up their addresses. You can access the address book by using the address book API. — Mundi, Feb 14 '13 at 13:38

Follow these two steps:

Retrive data from address book, https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/ContactData/Conceptual/AddressBookProgrammingGuideforiPhone/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007744
And the store retrieve data to iCloud http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/General/Conceptual/iCloud101/Introduction/Introduction.html
