What phone? how did you backup your phone? what phone are you trying to restore these to? There is no binary answer to everything, provide details.

As mentioned above, we're gonna need a lot more details in order to know where to even begin.

All the guides I'm finding on Xiaomi's website indicate you should have a folder named by date that you just copy back to a specified folder on the phone, then restore from. Not really sure why it gave you a .bak file, so you might need to reach out to Xaomi for more details.

No idea, I don't own a Xaomi phone, so I don't want to direct you to do something that might render your backups unrecoverable or worse, cause data loss. Xaomi is responsible for supporting their software, so contacting them would be your best bet. May as well as reach out to them for support while you await further replies on the forum.

No problem, happy to help point you in the right direction. I'm heading off to sleep now, but did find a couple other links that may be of use to you.
