merge replication and snapshots

I am having the huge db of 80 GB and trying to configure merge replication. The intial snapshot application is failing due to some schema issues. I have made some necessary changes to avoid the schema issues. If I try start the merge agent it is going to re-initialize the snapshot and reapplying the whole snapshot will take atleast 10-15 hrs.

Is there any way to resume the snapshot from the point of failure.. avoiding the reapplying all the data which has already got transfered to subscriber.You cannot restart from the point of failure. You can do it w/o applying the snapshot. Look here:
