I restored my configuration from a backup. The node is up and downloading the blockchain. The miner is up, but inactive and the original pool information seems to be stuck in the settings, despite changing to my new one. Any ideas? Thanks!

Try restarting in the miner software. Seems a hard restart sometimes does not restart right

That did it, thank you. I'll let it run in eco mode until the chain syncs-up.

To upgrade to a larger M.2 SSD without an enclosure, I first got a second SD card and imaged it using the resources from the first post. That was more of a precaution than a necessity.

Then, since my node was fully in sync on the original SSD, before I replaced the M.2 SSD I use the full node's file manager app to connect to a valid SMB file-share target on my home network and copied the node's data-files to it. It's way faster copying ~400 GB of data on your home network than it is to wait for the node to re-sync from scratch. Then I shut everything off and replaced both the SD card and the M.2 SSD. Upon bootup the OS formats the M.2 and starts to sync the node, which will take days. So, that's the time to stop the node, reconnect to the file-share and copy the data-files you backed up onto the new SSD, overwriting whatever the node just recently created with what we know to be complete data files. Then all ya have to do is re-start the node and it'll sync any changes that occurred while you were working on the full unit. That'll take minutes, as opposed to days.

HTH

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for the share, but I just let the node synch on its own in ECO mode. Good to know if a drive ever lets go.
