Default How do I restore file attachments in the Contacts in Outlook 2003

I have contacts in Outlook 2003 with PDFs and Word document files attached
for specific users regarding their files. These are more like hyperliks to
the original files, which are stored in folders on the harddrive. I had
backed up the files as a CSV file format. How can I restore contacts to
Outlook 2003, and also restore these "hyperliks" to the file attachments on
my computer?

You can't. Exporting is not backing up and should never be used for that
purpose. It is simply converting data to some other file format and will
always incur data loss. Links are only a small part of the information that
is irreparably lost when you export.
You back up data by making a copy of the data file and storing it in a safe
place.
