Go to Google Contacts to see if they're being backed up.

Its an issue with Nougat. Google won't fix til Sept. 21 and refuses to say why. I have no backups and need to reset phone now to fix issue. Just spent hour on chat because they will only give phone support to business customers and basically said they're numbskulls without a clue.

Mine says there are no backups even though backup data is on.

There are other ways to back up a phone - see Backing up an Android Device.

Your Samsung account backs up all your data too.
Go to settings>cloud and accounts>samsung cloud and there are numerous settings for backup and restore.
You get 15gb free and you'll be able to see how much of that you've used.
Google doesn't appear to be syncinging up my contacts because I did a quick comparison between the phone and Google Contacts. Anyway, you can export your contacts as a .vcf folder and save it to your SD card too. Open contacts, tap the dots at top right, then manage contacts, then import/export contacts.
