Trouble installing from a backup

Trouble installing from a backup was created by Vector
I live near the winds and the fires in Pasadena, California, and after the sudden power failures (several trees made spectacular messes all over our neighborhood, so it was a sudden spike-outage: also fried my fridge) my CNC mini-computer has taken to randomly rebooting.
So I ordered a replacement mini computer, and repeated all my installation steps, except for a scratch re-make of pncconf.
Instead, I copied back all the config files, directories and symbolic links from the old computer (it still runs, just inconsistently).
But at the end of everything, I get this error report and I'm stuck.
I was able to get a version of QtDragon interface to run (as far as actually displaying on the screen, haven't run the machine yet) by going through the pncconf process...
... but I will have to make a lot of changes to get back where I was, so I was hoping to make that restore route work.
If anyone can take a peek at this error report and have an insight into what I've screwed up, it would save me a bunch of time.
If not, then time is what it will take ;-/
Thank you all!

Looks like a problem with QTVCP:
Not sure but did you maybe update the original installation on the old PC at some point and have not done so on the new setup?
Code:
[QTvcp.QTVCP.WIDGETS.DRO_WIDGET][[34mDEBUG[0m] axis number 3 not found in available-axis to joint conversion dict {0: 0, 1: 1, 2: 2, 4: 3, 5: 4} of widget: dro_axis_a (dro_widget.py:72)

Qtvcp encountered an error. The following information may be useful in troubleshooting:

Do you want me to move this over to the QTVCP section to have it more exposed to cmorley?

Entirely possible. I updated the old installation several times, but then I installed fresh with:
apt install linuxcnc-uspace linuxcnc-uspace-dev mesaflash
I would have thought that would be equivalent.
And, I didn't make any screen changes to the QtDragon, at least not that I was aware of.

Thank you Aciera,
I think so, if there's a better section of the forums. I very much appreciate it. I'm trying to go step-by-step through the working default .ini file generated by pncconf, but weirdly when I make innocuous changes, like adding a remark line, suddenly I'm getting errors when it shuts down.
Just when I think I figure out what kind of .ini change is causing an error screen on exit, then I can't reproduce it anymore ... at this point I'm just confused.
So more expert help would be great. Thank you!

Doh, Aciera, I think you were pointing me to the right place, and I just needed to kick myself with inane errors before realizing what I missed:
My old machine was installing from the buildbot2.highlab.com repository, and therefore getting a newer version (updated, as you said).
Once I fixed that step, the restored implementation is working (with some slight screen changes, but I can manage that).
Hooray, I'm better/good (for now) thank you.
