sql-server-2008

We have a server with a database that has a symmetric key (Database -> Security -> Symmetric Key). We have a backup duplicate databases that we are using as a test databases, but we don't have this key in there.

How can I duplicate this symmetric key (or make a new one exactly like the old) and put it in the existing databases? It has to have the same value and key-name as the other one.

This is on SQL Server 2008.
