If the backup file is available, run "RESTORE FILELISTONLY from disk = 'file path'" in Management Studio or Query Analyzer. The output will show the size of database and transaction log files. The backup file is a .bak file, which is a SQL Server native backup file.

If .BAK file is big compared with the space free on your hard disk, run the following statements in SQL Server Management Studio or Query Analyzer to shrink data and log files

BACKUP LOG DatabaseName WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY;
USE DatabaseName
DBCC SHRINKFILE ('DataFile1', 10) -- Change 'DataFile1' to 'DataFile2', if you two data files.
DBCC SHRINKFILE ('LogFile1', 10) -- similar to the above scenario.

After those commands are complete, backup the database one more time. After completing the backup, you shall be able to restore the database to smaller sized environments, assuming the above steps let you decrease the size of your database backup file.
