Continue render

This is a feature I've always missed in all renderers I have used. Maybe it exists somewhere but I have never seen it. It would be interesting to have the ability to stop a render and continue it later (the next day or the next week, when your computer is available). Renderings can take ages, and it's not always possible to have a computer rendering for hours or days, because you may need it for something else. And not everybody can afford to have 2 computers...
What do you think ?

Really ?
I have only received my license 2 days ago and have yet to see all the features.
How does it work because my wish is then fullfilled

You need to include the option [-mxi:w] without the backets in the command line.
The you can resume by including the options [-mxi:w -mxi:c]

i'd like to see a button in the viewer to enable a stop and save mx file so it can be resumed later without the need to remember to set the mxi:w option at the outset.
