Proprietary image format for Octane

Does Octane have a proprietary image format like Maxwell? One you can resume and continue rendering? If not, is it going to be introduced sometime in the future?
I read an article on Meindbender producing the Cartoon Network Duplicators animations where they said they rendered their animations with pretty low settings and then finished them on a farm using the same files. Although Octane renders are very fast it seems like an awesome thing to be able to do. Especially if there is more noise in some parts of the animation than others.

You can pause the engine if you want but you can't pause it, save the project quit and come back to pursue de rendering process. Maybe we could implement this at some point but it's not been set as a priority right now.

Ok thanks. I would see for myself but i'm stuck with the (awsome) demo for a couple of weeks. I'm mainly interested in this because it allows tweaking postproduction after rendering the whole animation, and saving out many versions from one render.
