No, I am sorry. You can't do that. Please see this Apple document for general information about phone backups About backups for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204136

If you are using iCloud for contacts, contacts will restore when signing into iCloud on your new phone (inc. everything else iCloud is being used with).
