Assuming you simply re-installing to the same OS and distro, you don't have to re-install mailman, simply copy the backup in place. Make sure that the user and group mailman both exist and have the same values as before. You will have to restore your /etc/aliases file (or whatever your MTA used for interpreting Mailman lists), and run newaliases. You will need to restore your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file - the configuration file for your web browser. Or you will have to re-add the site information into your new config files. You will have to restore the crontab for the user mailman with all the entries for Mailman.
I think that about covers it.
