I use three .INI files:

final.ini is for doing final renderings (antialiasing on, pic size is
  320x240)

still.ini is for doing tests of individual shots (antialiasing is off,
  pic size is 512x384)

test.ini is for animation tests (antialiasing is off, pic size is
  320x240)

This makes it easy to stop the final rendering when I get the machine
back from the wife, do some modelling, some test renders, and then
resume the final rendering where I left off, when I go to bed.

Regards,
John
