Restoring a database from a backup in SQL Server can be performed using the following steps:

2. Right-click on the "Databases" folder and select the "Restore database..." option.

3. In the window that appears, select the "From device" option, and then click the "Browse..." button to specify the location of the backup file.

4. Select the backup file (.bak) you would like to use and click the “OK” button. Then click on the file name in the list below the text field area or simply drag it there.

5. If your file contains several backup save points, you can select the desired version from the list of available dates/versions.

6. Configure the recovery parameters:
– Specify a new name for the database.
– Display of physical names: leave the checkmark activated.
– Files of different types will be given their locations if you want to change the standard values
This block will be reflected only if non-standard paths for database files were specified in the backup.
– Options: you can configure various options, such as overwriting the existing database or leaving it unchanged.

7. After you have set all the necessary options and checked the correctness of the backup file selection, click the "OK" button to start the recovery process.

8. Wait for the recovery operation to complete. You will be provided with the progress of the task.

After completing these steps, your database should be successfully restored from a SQL Server backup.
