Thank you all.
Based on your suggestions I learned how to mount the SD card on my Ubuntu
laptop and was then able to copy the weewx files from the broken card to
the new one.
All is well and working as it should.
Again, thanks to all.

Generally not possible to help with a problem description of "it didn't
work" and a guess re: why. Not enough data to help.

if you list the home directory with
ls -l /home
what result do you get?? what is the status of /home/weewx and who owns it
and what permissions does it have??
WHAT IS THE ACTUAL ERROR THAT YOU ARE GETTING WHEN YOU TRY TO COPY TO THE
NEW CARD??
if you do the same thing for the new card -
Perhaps you need to try the old fashioned way - open a terminal and try copying
with sudo cp. At least that way if it doesn't work you will get an error
message that you can screen capture and post here.

To generically answer your questions, I have been attempting the copying
using Ubuntu's file manager. That was my first attempt. Then I tried the
external drive mounted on the RPi using the new weewx install. Having
stopped the weewx service.
Yes sudo was used.

I take the broken card out of the RPI, put it in a card reader attached to
my Ubuntu laptop an copy the entire /home/weewx directory to the laptop.
After removing the broken card from the reader I insert the new SD card and
attempt to copy the copied /home/weewx files from the laptop.
No joy.
well there is nothing special about the weewx files - they are usually
owned by either pi or root
can you copy them using sudo cp??
is the sd card actually mounted and visible??
what do you get if you try and list the files in /home/weewx??

Also, I tried copying the files to an external HDD and then to the new SD
card with the same negative results.
