Just change the extension of the backup file from .QDF-backup to .QDF and Open the file.

I suggest you open the backup file. For example, you may press
Ctrl + O
or select
File > Open Quicken File...
. If you don't know the location of the backup files, you may use
File > Find Quicken Files...
.
If you do choose to change the suffix of a backup file as
@Greg_the_Geek
suggested, I suggest you save a copy of the backup file first.
