If it is a sql backup file you can restore it with the RESTORE DATABASE command. To find out what is inside the file try this.

restore headeronly from disk='{path_to_file}'

Then to restore the file.

restore database {database_name} from disk='{path_to_file}'

More on these commands can be found in BOL.
