What exactly is the problem, that you are facing ?
The file you saved is a SQL backup. You have to RESTORE to get it into SQL Server. You can either do this through the Management Studio GUI or using a RESTORE DATABASE command (look in BOL for syntax).
Keep in mind that the Management Studio GUI expects the file to have a .BAK extension, so be sure to use the drop-down to select "All Files (*.*)" so you can see your backup file.
Good luck!
