If it's a plain text dump, make a copy of the backup file.  Edit the
copy and delete everything that doesn't relate to the database to be
restored.

If you dumped in tar or special format, I believe you can use
  pg_restore -d dbname
but I haven't done that myself and am not sure if I'm interpreting the
manpage correctly.

      for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which
      shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day 
      in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the
