Certain options, such as SUBDIR, PRESERVEPATH, IFNEWER, REPLACE, and source
and destination file specs are preserved; but other options such as QUIET
or RESOURCEUTILIZATION do not appear to be preserved.

The reference information for RESTART RESTORE says this:

> The restarted restore uses the same options that you used in the failed
> restore. The restarted restore continues from the point at which the
> restore previously failed.

If you open a PMR with support, we can address this in a more formal
manner. Whether we adjust the code to preserve other options (my personal
preferred outcome) or adjust the documentation to be more specific, will
remain to be determined.
