Just shows how opinions can differ. I found the documentation very bad, at least for one with my needs - a home network on a few computers looking for a simple backup system.

I should say that BackupPC _is_ a simple backup system once it is installed and configured; it is the configuring that I found absurdly difficult, given that I only had to make a couple of config choices, once I had worked out what they were.

I just put a guide up on the CentOS wiki a week or so ago.

The goal was to kind of put together all these bits and pieces into one simple to follow tutorial. It concentrates on using rsync to other Linux/CentOS clients, but perhaps it might help you out.
