Trouble restoring db backup on Windows

I use Docker (with the WSL backend) on Windows to run immich. My computer crashed mid-upgrade recently and completely borked my server - thankfully I'd taken a db backup right before upgrading. I'm having trouble understanding some of the Windows system manual restore steps from the documentation here: https://immich.app/docs/administration/backup-and-restore#manual-backup-and-restore

1. What is my DB_DATA_LOCATION? Is that the postgres folder in my immich folder?
2. The instructions say to mount the backup into the immich_postgres container using the docker-compose.yml, but I'm not sure how that syntax should work in the yml file. I've only mounted external libraries before.
