Assuming that by "backup" you mean the internal Evo function
File->Backup Settings, then it shouldn't be difficult. The backup file
is just a tar.gz archive, so you can use standard tools to extract any
part of it you want. Or just extract the whole thing to a temporary
directory and move the Contacts parts into place.

Be sure to halt Evo completely ("evolution --force-shutdown") before
touching the .evolution subtree.
