Open Contacts, then connect your Time Machine drive. Click the icon in the top bar, then "Enter Time Machine". It'll open a Time Machine dialog for Contacts. Simply click the top contact, then Shift + click the bottom to select all the cards. After that, you can click "Restore".


Hope that helped!
