found virtually no documentation with it other than one thin README

It's in portage, so a simple `emerge bacula` as root should build and
install it on your machine (including any needed dependencies). If you
want the client only, you can add client-only to your USE flags. It
has a few other USE flags to do various things (MySQL and PostgreSQL

Another option could be to use bacula, but that may be oversized
number of machines to backup.
If the server is rather critical, or there more than a handfull of machines to
backup, I would think about a full featured backup suite like bacula.
Both can eventually combined with using LVM snapshots.

You did not tell us what are you trying to backup; entire system or just

Most tools want you to
use LVM or a union filesystem or whatever to combine all the drives

multi-volume backups if you need to be able to split a backup across
