PostgreSQL supports several different backup formats, and doesn't
care what you call them, so a .backup could be any of the three.
You'll need to take a look at the file to get an idea of what format
it's in. If it's in plain SQL you can just feed it to psql, if not
give us the first few lines and we can help. If it's just gibberish
then try running it through gunzip first.
