~/docs/restoring_programs.md says:

  • Restore all programs (be careful with this!):

      set -g @resurrect-processes ':all:'
    

It would be helpful to be more specific about what can go wrong if one does this.

Concrete drive-by suggestions:

Be very careful with this: tmux-resurrect can not know which programs take which context, and a sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb that was just formatting an external USB stick could wipe your backup hard disk if that's what's attached after rebooting.
