When you backup your database it will create a file with the name of your database and a .bak extension. You need to copy this file to your desktop and rename it to have a .log extension. Then simply use the "Open Database" item in the "File" menu and select this file you copied.
You did not really have to do a backup in this situation. You can just copy your most recent database from your laptop to you desktop. The default location for these files is
c:\program files\Flight Log\Data
Please note that once you do this you will have two separate copies of the database. If you enter data on both computers then the two databases will be out of sync. If you want to be able to use a common database with the two computers you need to keep the database one one of them and share the file through a network connection to the other.
