Or you can:

1. Stop your redis server / instance, eg., service redis6379 stop
2. Copy the dump.rdb file to the right location, eg., cp /path/to/dump-6379.rdb /var/lib/redis/dump-6379.rdb. Give it the right permissions (user:group should be redis:redis and mode 644)
3. Start your redis server / instance, eg., service redis6379 start

It is important that you stop the redis server before copying the file to the right location, because Redis saves a snapshot before terminating, so it will replace your file.

Besides, you might want to back up the existing dump.rdb file first.
