Export Prospect and/or Contact data for remote usage

Export Prospect and/or Contact data for remote usage

We have a vendor that is offering to include us in their national campaign. However we are limited to 1000 records. I would like to create a filter in both contacts and prospects and export only those records in the filter. We have this occur quite often and would like a simple easy solution rather than to use a full backup each time. If I can't combine both contacts and prospects and would like to at least do one for each module.
