What is the problem or error message? Copy the back up from the jumpdrive to the hard drive. Make sure to not what type of file it is--QBB or QBM. Then, in QB 2009, go to File>Open or Restore and select the proper one based on the file type.
PLEASE mark this answer as solved (click the button under the answer in the lower, right corner) or post additional questions. Thanks so much!!!

It still is not working. The backup file is a QBB file. I just cannot get it to restore. I have gotten several different errors actually. When I do get through the steps up to the point to actually restore, it says it is saving as a QBM file, is that the problem, because I cannot get it to switch to a QBB?

You should go to File>Open or Restore>Restore a Backup file and select the file to restore. Then, it will ask where you want to restore it -- select somewhere on the hard drive. It may ask if you want to update the file -- you have to check the box and then click update now to update & restore the data file.
