Live Messenger is a stable service, but I have been started
writing on some Backup functions for Social Networks and
I think Live Messenger is a Social Network.
This is a very small function and I got the how to use messenger
information from this post by Jeffery Hicks.
function Backup-MessengerContacts {
$messenger=New-Object -com"Messenger.UIAutomation"
$messenger.mycontacts
}
Backup-MessengerContacts | select FriendlyName,SigninName,Blocked |Export-Csv "C:\messengerContacts.txt"

It works, but have troubles with Russian code page.
You mention the wider issue of backup for Social Networks. You may be interested in our tool, SocialSafe (www.socialsafe.net), which is a one button push backup tool for Facebook. Currently it downloads all your friends, photos (inc. those in which you are tagged) and your profile, thereby easing restore if something happens to your account (suspended, hacked, lost,etc) or to your friend’s accounts for those photos you are tagged in. You can also browse this information off-line and, from Monday, we are releasing an update which includes a Time Capsule feature so you can, for example, see from each backup which new friends you have and which friends you have lost.
