Location of contacts on Sailfish X

I was expecting to find a People folder under .vault in /home/nemo ... but I can't find it.

Long story short... an accidental synch of contacts from my exchange server, flooded my phone contacts, so there was no easy way to delete just those contacts. I ended up thinking, "Ok, I'll delete the contacts and restore from backup" ... however, I couldn't just restore the people from the backup (and I'm on the move, so no ability to use a PC to get inside the .tar file) ... so it ended up restoring the whole backup.

The Settings->Apps->People doesn't have an export function, so I want to find the contacts file so I can keep it to one side, in case this happens again... but I can't find it on Sailfish X.

Can anyone help please?
