For the initial setup with the EPEL package the only tricky part is adding the web password for the admin user and possibly others if you want logins restricted to seeing only certain hosts.  See the comments in /etc/httpd/conf.d/BackupPC.conf about that.

I forgot one step there - you also need to edit /etc/BackupPC/config.pl to add the that web login user name to $Conf{CgiAdminUsers}. If you don't log in with a name that matches, you don't see much in the web interface.

And if you want the email warnings about failed backups to work you'll probably need to add a SMART_HOST setting to /etc/mail/sendmail.mc - but that's not really specific to backuppc.
