I assume then that you are talking about the 'info' attribute of a
list. If so, you can get the lists/<listname>/config.pck file from the
backup tape.

Do not replace the current config.pck with that backup unless you want
to restore EVERYTHING (list settings, membership all member options
and attribute, digest volume number, ...).

Instead, just put the file somewhere and run Mailman's

 bin/dumpdb path/to/the/config.pck

to see what the info attribute was.

OTOH, maybe you do want to restore everything from the backup?
