download_dir=./saved
blog_apitype=metaweblog
blog_username=bobsmith <--- use your Roller login ID
blog_password=xxxxxxxxxxx
blog_id=bobsmith <--- for a URL like http://www.jroller.com/bobsmith (frequently same as username).
blog_url=http://www.jroller.com/roller-services/xmlrpc
max_entries=1000

Prior to running the blogbackup (Grabber.sh/.bat) tool, try to access the blog_url you configured above from a browser, if you get a single methodResponse element displaying a null pointer exception that means the endpoint is active and usable.

Note: This process saves blog entry text only (in the ./saved folder as configured above, one HTML file per blog entry). Attachments (PNGs, GIFs) and any Roller CSS/template customizations will need to be backed up manually.
