How to install backup

[K33NY]

Hello, I am recently having problems with my webpage, mods making errors, and now we cant enter the webpage, I have asked in previous topics if I shall wait for the new SMF version and upgrad, and how to manually uninstall mods, but I ask because I want to learn and allso want to try this out:

I have on admin panel downloaded database backup (cov_13-Mar-2011.sql)

now what I want to know is how I install this?

My tech guy as I mentioned in previous topics is in hospital with hes wife, and the birth is taking very long so I want to try install the backup database myself. He said that I shall either try, and make sucess, or try-fail-learn

Can therefore anyone tell me how I install this backup file?
