user2900: What do I need to do to move a node on one machine to another so the node appears to be the same node. I have a node on one machine but need to discontinue that machine. When I build the new machine out I need it to have the same keys I'm guessing. I'm not exactly sure what files would need to be copied over. Thanks for the help.

user4382: Based off the "same keys" part of the question, I am going to assume this is for a block producing node.
Block Producing Node:
For the BP, all you need to do to move it is copy the kes.skey, vrf.skey and node.cert. You will also want to copy your configuration files and make sure your UFW configuration is the same. The last step is, if you changed the IP address, to update your relay topology to connect to the new IP address, as well as update the relay UFW if needed.
Minting Tokens:
Although I have not tested this, I believe you need to copy over your policy.vkey, policy.skey, policy.script, and your policy.ID. You also may need your payment address and keys. If I am missing anything please correct me and I'll update this.
