Backburner is now driven from a configuration file. Shown below are the contents of the configuration file.
The only tricky values are the ones related to the CDRecorder and CDReWriter, but if you have successfully gotten cdrecorder (insert URL here) or XCDRoast (insert URL here) working, you have these settings figured out.
I would highly recommend you get cdrecorder or XCDRoast working alone before you try using backburner to archive to your CD-Recordable or CD-Rewriter. That way you are only debugging one problem at a time.
Here are the contents of the supplied sample backburner.rc file. This file should be modified as necessary for your particular system, and copied to /etc/backburner (if you want system wide configuration) or a file named .backburner located in your home directory (if you lack permissions to write to /etc or have user specific preferences).

CDRW_DEVDEVICE = /dev/scd0 # "normal" device file for CDRW
# Defaults for CD-ReWritable device that cdrecorder uses. Look at the
