In the normal usage of restart mode (e.g. when a job has been stopped because the elapsed time as reached the value specified in max_seconds, which you usaually take a bit smaller than the walltime of your job on a cluster), you simply make this change in the input file:
from_scratch -> restart and launch the job again. The first input file does not need anything special, you simply describe your system and cutoffs and pwscf will save all needed data by default in the directories already mentioned by Lorenzo.
