I figured that much.. I just don't know how.. as I stated above
The backup in the clockwork folder is different than the backup of your apps. You back up apps with titanium backup pro or mybackup. A nandroid backup is what you're seeing in the clockwork folder. This is a snapshot of the ENTIRE system at that given moment in time. So, all the apps you paid for should be fine to dl again from the market. Contacts... reboot and use the liberty customizer to add backup assistant. Then try to sign in. If it doesn't work, you can go to the VZW site I believe and get your contacts from there. Don't worry! All is not lost. Lesson learned though. Also, its a good idea to export your contacts to the sd card (just in case). Then if something like this happens again, you can just import them back with no worries.

Yes I found you are correct about getting my apps back from the market which is what Im doing at this moment.. However I have tried both backup assistant on my phone and thru VZW's website clicked sync to phone and it appears to be syncing but it really does nothing at all I have almost 200 phone contacts I need to retrieve :-(
Don't be so sad! Haha It should work from the web site so keep trying. Dl the facebook app and when it asks, sync all contacts. This will at least get some of them back i hope
also, go to settings/accounts and try clicking on your google acct. Then check the box to sync contacts, gmail etc.. if it's already checked, uncheck it and check it again. It will sync. Annnd, open liberty customizer and check off backup assistant again and try signing in after using the customizer and rebooting

ok will do thanks a mill!
No worries. For the future as well, make sure your contacts are synced to your gmail acct and not just the phone. That way, when you install a new rom and are doing the setup, you'll have the option to restore from your google acct (which will contain among other things, your contacts)

If done correctly Liberty GB is smooooth as butter. Customizer is in your Settings Menu. Settings->Liberty Settings->Liberty Customizer.
As said, Google does a great job of backing up not only contacts but also calendar events.

Good. Happy to help! It's not usually like that. So liberty customizer is in settings/liberty settings. Now that you have your contacts, export them to the sd for a backup. Also, use titanium backup to backup your apps. There is also the app called my backup which can also backup apps as well as contacts. Enjoy liberty! PM me if you need anything else

Another option is to make sure you have a fairly recent backup in clockwork(I have a fresh backup of both the stock rom and liberty)... Also use titanium backup for apps saves downloading them all again. Gmail sync will be your bread and butter though.
