The initial learning curve of bacula is a few step. If you only make backup of 1-3 servers, dump scripts is ok.
With many servers, the reporting capabilities, easy use for restores, monitoring backups, configurations of a software of this type (Bacula/EMC Networker/NetBackup/Dataprotector) is a must to have. Bacula has a lot of options, many of them you will never use them, and at the beginning is confusing.
