For VSM it should be possible to resync as long as at least one common snapshot is still present. For QSM I am not sure, I have not used it much. In the worst case you need to perform new baseline transfer.

Snap list on source and target. If no common snap then you have to initialize again. There may still be a common snap that can be used for resync instead of an initialize.
