When i exported my adressbook for a backup i thought i got all adresses, but it was only my personal book. From my business adressbook i got no backup. Is it possibly i can find it back in Windows.old?

You need to find the old profile and in that, your address books are stored with *.mab file names.

This add-on: https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html may be useful to help you import them.
