DATA TRANSFER INTERUPTED

I was transferring data from my I phone X to my new I phone 12 and it was taking a long time so I was advised to switch off my I phone X which interrupted data transfer

my question is once I switch back on I phone X will the data transfer resume from where it left of from or do I need to start the process all over again.

Incidentally my I -phone X has frozen and waiting for it to go flat which is another issue


Thanks RAFFCRE
