Need help with exchange 2013 "nk2" file

Im running exchange 2013 with outlook 2010.. When we updated to exchange 2013 I did the import nk2 to bring users "autofill" in for outlook. I had a user call me today stating his auto fill is gone, outlook created a new one for him. I had him close out outlook then I restored all of his outlook files from the weekend back up to his profile trying to correct this but it didnt, he still had the same autofill entries (5) he started to build after the old list disappeared.  What is the "nk2" file named in exchange 2013 and where is it stored? How can I get it back?

Thanks John, the article doesnt really address what Im trying to do. That article pertains to what I did 2 years ago when I imported users nk2 files into outlook 2010. I probalby wasnt clear before;
I had a user call me said he doesnt have any autofills in his outlook anymore in fact it started rebuilding he autofills from scratch.
I would like to restore his files from a backup if possible, I tried to do that but it didnt work he still has the new autofill list.
Is there a file that I can restore from a backup that would give him his autofill list?

We use exchange so I would assume that file became corrupted on the exchange server. So is my only option to reimport the nk2 file that i have from the original migration?
