If you care to help here is
a reply to a

received what he spoke about

Randy, you're sort of coming across as though you feel a sense of entitlement, "I built Bacula from source but I don't feel like reading documentation or putting the slightest bit of effort into this, so someone give me a cookie-cutter setup".  That may well just be due to the nature of email as a communications medium, so don't take offense to that unless that's really how you mean it.

Backups are probably not the best item to take shortcuts with (especially at a hosting company!), and you can spend one afternoon with the excellent documentation and have all the understanding you need to get Bacula up and running in your environment, in a way that suits your needs.  Can you make some time for the documentation?  You'll be far better protected than if you just throw in some configurations that you don't understand and start running it.  I guarantee the list it helpful when you show up and ask an informed question that shows you've done at least a bit of homework.
