    Hello there, Sahnas98.

     

    I sounds like you are trying to backup your contacts from your iPhone 6. One way to backup your contacts, especially if you have iCloud is to first make sure you have Contacts turned on:

     

    Get help using iCloud Contacts

     

    Turn on Contacts and update your device

     

    Once turned on then, make an iCloud Backup using the information from this article. Keep in mind, the backup itself doesn't hold the iCloud Contacts, those will be restored to your phone after you restore and reactivate iCloud:

     

    How to back up your devices using iCloud or iTunes

     

    Make a backup using iCloud

    1. Connect your device to a Wi-Fi network.
    2. In iOS 8 or later, tap Settings > iCloud > Backup.
      In iOS 7 or earlier, tap Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup. 
    3. Make sure that iCloud Backup is turned on.
    4. Tap Back Up Now. Stay connected to your Wi-Fi network until the process completes.
    5. Make sure the backup finished by tapping Settings > iCloud > Storage > Manage Storage, and then select your device. The backup you just made should appear in the details with the time and backup size.

    Follow more steps if you need help making a backup in iCloud.

    Hello again, Sahnas98.

     

    Thanks for the follow up photos to show your settings. It seems, from that first image that you have Contacts turned on to iCloud. You can verify that by logging into icloud.com/contacts from your computer to verify that your contacts are there. If you want to have a backup of your iPhone in iCloud, you can follow the steps mentioned above as well. 

     

    When you restore your device and turn on iCloud contacts again, these saved Contacts will restore them to your device.

     

    Hope this helps clarify a bit more for you.

     

    Sincerely.
