If you look inside that backup file, you'll see something like this:

START WAL LOCATION: 47/11B7E980 (file 000000010000004700000011)
STOP WAL LOCATION: 47/13006410 (file 000000010000004700000013)
CHECKPOINT LOCATION: 47/11B7E980
START TIME: 2007-10-12 19:00:02 CDT
LABEL: 2007-10-12_190002
STOP TIME: 2007-10-12 20:10:30 CDT

It tells you what files  you need, as a minimum, to restore.
