it is impossible to restart single-point TD-DFT calculations
that were interrupted. The only option is to use previously
converged vectors:

==========================================================
$TDVEC group     required if RDTDVC in $TDDFT is chosen

This is formatted data generated by a previous TDDFT run, to
be read back in as starting vectors.
==========================================================

however they must be computed at some previous step for this group to be punched and reused.
