Normally that's not a problem as the MAC address is unique (if not you'll have interesting network problems.) and it's therefore fine to use that as a unique identifier. xml file and is used as a unique identifier when communicating with the Backburner manager. When you run Backburner the MAC address is read from the. Backburner creates the backburner.xml configuration file when it's first run and writes the MAC address of the machine to that file.
