Oh, this looks like you are not using any compression. Go to "setup" while you are defining the output and use zip compression or wavelet (yes, the latter is also lossless, no worries).
Good Luck
That's how it is set up anyway, with ZIP compression.
Is the below correct?
- You would like to save only a single EXR file with all render elements included in it
- Right now, instead of a single file, you are getting the "main" EXR + all other render elements saved separately as EXR files

One extra note:
If you use the "Save CXR" option and then convert your CXR to EXR, you will end up with a large file containing some layers which are normally hidden (for example information used to perform denoising). Maybe you are getting this kind of files? Could you send us some samples? The uploader is in my signature.
No. I want all my exr's saved out separate (which is happening). The issue is that the files are bigger than they should be. MUCH bigger. Even if I make a mistake and have an empty render element i.e Volumetrics but I have no volumes in the scene, it will save out a massive file with no info in it. Check the image above, there is no way that my alpha should be more than double the size of my beauty pass, and it has no extra info in there that I can access.
So after more testing, this isn't just an issue with Backburner... and we dont get the issue with VRay, Redshift etc. It seems to happen with only the high res files. 3k, we get the expected different file sizes per pass, jump to 6k or 7k and we get all [asses with the same file size. This also happens with TIFFs. And across every machine in the studio.
I genuinely think this is a Corona issue, something about saving large-resolution files seems to make it shit it's pants, the contents of which are filling up our server space
