Thanks for the advice. I am running weewx with SDR, so no console to store data. Although I have an acurite access which is still collecting data so I can use that data to fill in any gaps I have while transitioning. I think if I just back up my weewx.conf, my skins, and weewx.sdb I should have everything I need. Plus getting the BME280 pressure/temp running on the new pi and all the weewx extensions I have (BME280, forecast, and SDR).
