the ecowitt.net backfill and the SD card backfill are mutually exclusive/excluding each other

in addition, the MAC address of the console in question is needed - also for the SD card download the MAC address is needed
=> a nested setup (as e.g. done in CumulusMX) will make sense

1. activate ecowitt.net by providing MAC, APP and API keys
2. if 1. is activated AND SD card is activated (MAC info available), then SD card backfill takes priority => something like a SD card backfill switch needs to be considered - more code inspection needed
3. SD card backfill should be possible without providing an APP/API key

also to consider (unless already done --> code inspection):

the ecowitt.net lowest data resolution is 5 minutes, the SD card resolution (if so chosen) goes down to one minute => if you have a 300 second/5 minute archiving interval, the SD card data might have to run through the loop and accumulation process for all records whereas from ecowitt.net there is a 1:1 filling of the loop and archive table ("dictionary").

result: four more switches/options/parameters needed
1. app_key = key
2. api_kep = key
3. mac_address = MAC
4. SD_card = yes/no

Quick glance at the code says you need to add "api_key" and "app_key" to the [EcowittHttp] section in weewx.conf to get around that error

There are also some retries and tunings around line 3944 in the init routine, but I don't see a setting for "/no catchup vs. this way vs. that way vs. these multiple ways/" so to speak.  There are also debug settings around line 688 that can be enabled.

But.... if you look around line 3144 it seems to indicate catchup is not actually in the code at this time.  Just the plumbing towards that goal.

I guess enable all the debugging and do a test and see what happens (?)
