pretty simple


 bitcoind importprivkey "yourprivatekeypair"

or via the debug console just

      importprivkey "yourprivatekeypair"

try it first with a bogus wallet Wink

you need to EXPORT your key .

copying he files is NO good backup!!!

this is the CORRECT way


    Bitcoin-Qt
        Help -> Debug window -> Console
            walletpassphrase {passphrase} {timeout}
            dumpprivkey {bitcoinaddress}


ok and then how to restore this key

hej i'm new and i don't now how to backup and restore my bitcoin-qt wallet. Can you help me??

You can file/backup the wallet inside client.
For restore, you need to manually rename the backup file to wallet.dat and replace old wallet.dat
