As per the topic:

If you stop a normally running task and then directly start the task again, will the task restart the data migration from scratch?

What I want to do:
I want to modify the task’s configuration file to add the tidb_skip_utf8_check configuration. Do I need to restart it?

No, the downstream has a checkpoint stored in dm_meta;
It will only restart if the start-task is run with the --remove-meta parameter.

Let me ask another question: Is the checkpoint saved by task name or by database? For example, if I change the task name, will the checkpoint be used?
