I just checked and there are builds of 3.2.1 for both EL5 and EL6 but
I didn't check if they've made it through to the stable repository.
Worst case you can pull them directly from koji[1].

I don't run EL/CentOS/Scientific Linux but I do run Fedora which is
more or less equivalent. I used yum to install and the only manual
configuration I had to do to get a basic working system was to edit
/etc/BackupPC/config.pl to setup the CGI admin user and then setup the
password file for apache. That's it.

If you don't go through the EL repo then you'll also need to pay
attention to the changelog as there are two new perl modules you need
to install separately. (perl(Net::FTP::AutoReconnect) and
perl(Net::FTP::RetrHandle)).
