Not concerned at all.
I'd rather start from scratch at this point if it's possible.
I've made a list of which servers can connect to others and for the most part, 
they can connect with a few stray disconnects.

To start with a clean slate, would I SSH into the backup server and SSH to each 
Linux machine I wanted to connect to ?

Is there a process for deleting a specific line from each host file so the 
server will add the correct key info for each connection?

I still can't quite wrap my head around the process because some of what the 
messages tell you are to 'Add the correct host key' ....well, which machine ?

Add correct host key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending key in ~/.ssh/known_hosts:1

I know if I ever get it working it will be light a light bulb going off,
but it's mighty dark right now with the servers not backing up....

I appreciate the replies for everyone. It really keeps me going.

I don't know if sshd has a concept for comments in the known_hosts file.  It 
would probably work anyway by making it not an exact match.
 But I'd probably just copy the old file to a different name if I
wanted access to the old contents.   You should never need them as
long as you manually connect and accept the new key, unless you are concerned 
with the security implications that a different/fake  server might be trying to 
intercept your connection and has hijacked the name/ip address that you used to 
connect.
