Jetbrains 0xDBE : How can I load a SQL Server .bak file?
An IDE is not going to be able to "load" a SQL Server backup. You need to restore the backup to a running instance of SQL Server, then the IDE will be able to connect to it and interact with it. You should be able to connect the IDE to a running instance of SQL Server, and then through a query window run a RESTORE command, documented here:


RESTORE (MSDN)


Depending on where the backup came from, you will likely need to use the WITH MOVE options, as it is unlikely your default data/log folders match those from the source.
