To restore from backup:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
Note the typically there is only one iCloud backup and iTunes backup. When subsequently backup the previous backup gets modified with the changes.
For iTunes backup go to iTunes?Preferences>Devices and look for backups and dates.
For iCloud backup go to Settings>iCloud>Backup and Storage and look at the date(s) of the backup

all of my apple devices including my mac has since also lost all contact details as well and when I try to retrieve old back ups it does not replace lost info.

My previous post said how to find that out and how to restore.
Also, were they iCloud contacts? If on a computer browser yo go to icloud.com and sign in and go to contacts are they listed? If not then restoring from iCloud backup will not restore them since the iCloud backup does not included iCloud stuff
Choosing an iOS backup method (Should I use iTunes or iCloud to back up my iOS device?)
