ok done it by using a program called idrive lite it lets you upload backup restore all or 1 by 1....not on my pc which is what i really wanted so if anyone else is intrested its idrivelite ...and you can log on to idrivelite.com as well to check them out.
What I did several months ago is the following:
1. Go to google.com/contacts and make sure you have no contacts at all
2. Open iTunes and sync Contacts using iTunes but use the option to sync them to your Google account
3. Next disable the syncing of contacts via iTunes
4. Set up Google sync on your phone using the Exchange details they provide you with.
This then keeps an online backup of all your contacts.
It has worked flawlessly for me and now I ahve a mac, I entered my google credentials into Address Book and they all sync down including photos!

It will come with iOS 5 which most expect will be released within a few weeks.
