Matt, there is no "dummy" guide for backups just as there are no "Dummy" guides for performing surgery. You said yourself it can be complicated. It's difficult to "dummy" down a complicated process like backups, especially using Bacula. The bacula manual is not overly complicated but you will need to read a bit of information before you'll understand what to do. Bacula is suprisingly easy to use...the hard part is figuring out the process of backing up...not installing and configuring Bacula. The bacula manual also has some pretty good tips on "best practices".
