These are autosaved from VFB into exr format. Files named image_xxx are incremantal saved at set interval and files named image_end_xxx are saved after rendering is complete.

so it was set at 20 mins interval, so your saying it saves once at the beginning of the 20 min and again at the end of the 20 mins?

If interval is set at 20 min. then first render will be saved at 20 minutes after render starts, then after another 20 and so on. And one more image, named [set_name]_end, is saved when rendering ends. Keep in mind that autosave overwrites older files, so  first file saved wouldn't necessary be numbered with 001.

hmm, when does rendering actually end? i thought it actually will just go and go and go?

Render ends if one of those criterias are met:

* in case of number 4, autosave may be not saved correctly ;]
