i suppose the backup has all the blog data, so yes, you should be able
to resume from it your blogs (if you haven't deleted them).
The backup of a database usually comes with all the data (of course)
and with all the sql commands useful to recreate the tables. You only
need to create a database for first.
Here more info:

After restore, you can browse the tables  to find your blogs using
Tora, phpMyAdmin, or any other tools.
All the data will be of course with html tags.

Good luck
