'freebsd-update fetch' or 'freebsd-update -r X.Y-RELEASE upgrade' prepare a set of patches to install in order to effect an update. If you run one of them but then subsequently omit the 'freebsd-update install' step, then run either of those commands again, if the target version has changed in the mean time (flipping between 'fetch' and 'upgrade' counts), it will download a new set of patches to update the installed system to the new desired version. This will take advantage of any patches already downloaded and sitting in freebsd-update's cache, but otherwise it recreates the update job from scratch. It will ignore any patches not relevant to the update you requested. So the way you start over is to rerun your 'fetch' or 'upgrade' command, but only if there are new patches to download.
