It may be what I am looking for.

Are you saying that lttng-sessiond will pick up the session from whereever 
it is and continue it?

BTW, I am using only UST for now.

The only way I can see this working is by recreating the same session
configuration (with the same output destination) and using lttng
enable-channel's -C (tracefile-size) and -W (tracefile-count) options
to define an upper bound on each trace's size.

Is this what you are looking for?
