Hello,

Before installing Bacula, you have to design your backup 
infrastructure.
To design your backup infrastructure, you have to know what you want to 
do with it and how to do it.

There are 3 major parts :
  - File Daemon : It's the client. You have to install it on each 
machine you want to backup.
  - Storage Daemon : It's the server which will manage volumes you will 
backup data pieces to.
  - Director : It's the scheduler and manager of the solution.

To backup something, you have to define:
  - what you want to secure (Filesets)
  - when you want to secure it (Schedules)
  - how long you want to secure it (Retention periods)
  - ...

Once you will have all these parameters, you will be able to merge them 
into a JobDefs... and then create Jobs for each machine you want to 
backup.

To store it, you have to define your volume management strategy :
  - Tape / Disk (each one has its own constraints)
  - Offsite copy
  - Recycling policy
  - ...

You understood why there is no standard documentation.
There is no standard installation !

I provided you several keywords which will help you to dig into the 
Bacula manual and build you backup strategy.

Have a good week reading the manual ;-)
