Within PgAdmin3...
- Create a new database within the server you are using.
- Right click this database and choose 'Restore'.
- Use the 'Browser' button to select your '.dmp' file.
- Select 'Restore' to start restoring the database.

1I'd just give it a try through PgAdmin - you'll probably find they're created a compressed backup (.backup file) but just named it as a .dmp file instead. – Gareth Flowers Jun 01 '15 at 20:38
