I don't know whether this will work for you or not, and I myself don't
know the best way to get you in there as owner without blowing away
your good backup, but...
 
        Revised List Processor (LISTSERV@FRECP11), Release 1.5d
                Privileged commands for list owners
 
GET       listname <(options>    <F=fformat> <PW=list_password>
 
!                    OLD
 
! The OLD option indicates that you want to retrieve the "backup" copy of
! the list. Whenever a list is stored by means of a PUT command, a backup
! copy is kept in case  you inadvertently stored incorrect information in
! the list. For example, you might  have stored the list from peer server
! A into peer  server B and vice-versa. No password  is required when the
! OLD option is specified, but you must  still be an owner of the current
! ("new") list.
