It depends upon how you backed up in the first place. For example: Time Machine, Carbon Copy Cloner, Finder or other. You appear to be on the wrong forum so I have included my standard message below.

Whilst it may not be your fault I am afraid it appears that your post is on a forum which is not the best for your OS. It will save the time of the unpaid volunteers here, and may resolve your issue faster, if you could examine the list below and see if there is a more appropriate forum to which you could direct your question.

OS X 10.7 Lion
