Hi there, Helen! Welcome to the Local Community! :wave:

If you open up that zip you downloaded from BackWPup does it contain the necessary files? See this help doc for more information about Importing a Site into Local:

If you’re missing either the wp-content or sql database file, you may want to export again and ensure you’re exporting both items.

Let me know if that helps!

If not, let me know what you see inside of that export from BackWPup.
