SQL

USE master;
ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks2012 SET RECOVERY FULL;
GO
-- Back up the AdventureWorks2012 database to new media set (backup set 1).
BACKUP DATABASE AdventureWorks2012
  TO DISK = 'Z:\SQLServerBackups\AdventureWorks2012FullRM.bak' 
  WITH FORMAT;
GO
--Create a routine log backup (backup set 2).
BACKUP LOG AdventureWorks2012 TO DISK = 'Z:\SQLServerBackups\AdventureWorks2012FullRM.bak';

Follow the steps:

1. Connect DB Engine (sqlserver)
2. Right click on DATABASES
3. Select Restore Database
4. Select bak file from your Hard-drive
5. & click ok, it will start to execute
6. Depends upon your back up file size it will take time

Hope it works.
