I've been using burncd and CD-RWs for backup purposes for quite some time.
It is easily possible to erease a CD-RW so you can burn on them again. How
often that is possible doesn't depend on the software used, but on the
quality of the CD-RW you are using. Most manufacturers seem to claim that
their RWs can be rewritten 1000 times, but I have not yet had the time to
try that.

Of course, a CD-RW written with burncd can also be ereased and re-used by
any ofter CD writing software. There should be absolutely no problem.
