This is a different question. The original question was how to transfer
the settings from one list to another. Your question, is if I
understand, how best to back up a Mailman installation on another
server.

I'm not sure of the best way to do this. You could just sync the files
in the lists/ and archives/ directories. This may be sufficient, but
you may also want to consider qfiles/
