What do you mean by "resume" ? Did restore crashed, or stopped with some
error, and you want to launch it again and compare _the rest_ of the
data ?

Normaly, if the bad block is inside an inode data, restore should signal
the error, and ask you if you want to continue (unless you did specify
-y, in which case it does this automatically).

If the bad block happens to be at the place some important metadata was
saved, well, I guess bad things can happen...
