Backing up contacts to google account

[paininthenuts]

If I click on settings/accounts/google I can see that contacts have been synced, however, if I click on settings/google/restore contacts it says "No contacts are backed up to this account. Any ideas ?

Assuming you have access to a PC, go to https://contacts.google.com/ and see if your contacts are all showing there.

If they are, then they are synced.

Amazing, I didn't even have log in or give a password. Thanks

From a PC? That means that at some point you logged into your Google account on that PC and never logged out. Unless you want anyone using that PC to have access to your GMail, your photos, your Google Drive files, etc, etc, I strongly suggest you go back to that PC, go to any Google page, click the icon at top-right and then click Sign out.

If you did it from your phone's Chrome browser, that's an entirely different matter.
