can you elaborate more on the problem? Are you taking backup or restoring? Are you using root account or normal user account? Can you share the command / script used?

limits.conf takes effect when the user authenticates, so you can just restart the service.

for sysctl.conf

Free BSD

sudo /etc/rc.d/sysctl reload

Other Distribution of Linux try:

sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf

You will not have to worry about rebooting.
