Failing that
contains your contacts in vcard format you could extract them with a text editor and save each as a .vcf file then in file manager reload them.
You can also find the addressbook.db in one of your backup zip files.
Code:
/home/user/.osso-abook/db/addressbook.db
You can also find the addressbook.db in one of your backup zip files.

Managed to resolve the problem!
basically this is what I did went into .osso-backup copied all the files using filebox and then pasted them in .osso-abook. Rebooted my device that didn't work then I deleted a folder called .osso-abook temp again rebooted device and Voila it worked for me.
Guys thanks for your help in pointing me towards the correct folders
I am going to lie down now busted my brain made it work today like never before and so proud of it hahah

Problem is all my saved contacts have disappeared however the list that contains my missed/dialled call list contains the name of my contacts that I have or they have called, but when clicking on to my contacts its all blank!
I have a number of backups from various dates but none of them have resolved this issue.
Any help welcomed
