How to restore app data?

Can anybody tell me, whether / how I can restore the data / configuration of an iPhone app (on the 3GS)?

More specifically, I've got a shopping app (ShopShop) on my iPhone.
I have carefully created a long shopping list.
Accidentally, it is now deranged.

So I'd like to restore the state.

Is there any way to do it?
(I am familiar with Unix, so a bunch of Terminal commands would be fine.)

Best regards,
Gabriel.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.4), iPhone 3GS w/ FW 4.0.1, iTunes 9.2

3rd party data is stored in the backup, so one way would be restoring from a backup, if you're using Time Machine it should be no problem, but you can't select just on app to restore, it's all or nothing.
Another way would be using this software here http://supercrazyawesome.com/ and see what you can do.

Thanks a lot for the quick answer!

I forgot to mention that my latest TimeMachine backup is about 2 weeks old, because I'm on vacation ...

So, I'd rather restore only the data of this one app.

I'll check out the tool you have suggested.

Best regards,
Gabriel.
