Don't do anything with it.
I think I know what happened but I have a few more questions.
First : Why are you calling it a "back up"?
Is that just an assumption or did one of those little boxes flash up telling you that's what it was?
Second : How big is it? How much of your hard drive space is it using?

Hard drive space is what partitions use, they appear in My Computer as seperate drives. Your memory in untouched.
From your description you didn't somehow create and format a partiton without being aware that you were doing so even if you were half asleep.
