As others have said, Desktop Manager is a good option too. But I would use the Sync function and choose the ASCII option. This does a one-way sync from your device to your desktop and creates a .csv file of your Contacts. This file can be opened and edited with Excel. Very handy if you need to do mass edits or for backup.

If you use a GSM carrier, you can backup your contacts to your SIM card. If not and you don't do a monthly backup with DM, you can always use gmail to backup your contacts.

No one ever stated that you could back up only your contacts using BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
Sync the contacts with Outlook/Outlook Express/Windows Live Mail if that's all you want on the computer.
BlackBerry devices work differently than other devices.
Or as previously suggested, you could use Google Sync, but you would need a BlackBerry Data Plan in order to use that.
Actually, I did suggest that you can back up an individual database from the phone to DM, at least you could the last time I used it a few months ago. You use the advanced option.
I didn't realize, however, that the OP wanted to be able to read or manipulate them, which DM won't do.
