Oh, to retain your custom columns in the new library, you should be able to created the new library based on the existing one.

It should be enough to use Library Maintenance. Check library will allow you to clean up any extraneous files (anything the database doesn't say is there).
Unless files were deleted or overwritten, in which case they don't exist to be imported into the new library.
