It depends exactly what you have got.

I would associate "site backup" with a database backup and a backup of 'moodledata'. The cannot "restore this to a current Moodle site". It IS a Moodle site, albeit a reasonably old one. You would have to restore it to whatever version it was (or a compatible newer version) and then go through the "march" of upgrading to the latest.

I'm probably missing the point - but the students who can access that activity/resource will be sent the message. There's no way (from Moodle) to tell if they received it.

Others may disagree, but I usually advise against using Moodle for any kind of critical messaging.
