Ok, well, if it's already installed, then you don't want to overwrite it. 
Shouldn't you just be able to copy the archives for that particular list
and the folder from within the 'lists' folder, and then add the
appropriate aliases to the existing aliases file?  (I don't remember if
2.0.x has genaliases, but that should work in 2.1)
