This sounds like a question about Exporting and Importing an "Address Book".
You can have multiple Address Books.
One of the Address Books is the main address book and has a known filename.

One of the reasons SQLite files can be more robust
than regular files (Abook.mab), is the files are journaled.
And there are two files next to a SQLite file, that
provide recovery information. If for any reason, the
GUI method of retrieval was not working (as LDIF or CSV),
then the SQLite file can be used.
Moving the entire profile folder, from the TB115 machine
to the TB128, should have worked too, and that would have
brought email and addresses and whatever else. That is generally
how I have been moving stuff around here.
