Heisenberg_Hunter, thanks for the reply!
If getting the funds back requires the hsm_secret and lightningd.sqlite3, then I am out of luck

I have not opened channels back to the nodes I had before. But weirdly, they show up as 'peers' and not channels. I will be working on this more tonight, and see if I can open channels back with the nodes. Since channel state is lost, I doubt it's recoverable. But thought I would access the knowledge of those smarter than me.
