Rather simple actually, but as always, you have several options:
1. Just back up the directory tree containing the svn repository on 
the svn server.
2. Dump the svn and back up the dump.
3. Check out the svn contents remotely and back up the files.

Solution 1 is simplest to set up, but restoring a svn repository from 
this backup requires you to run the identical svn server software on 
restore. Number 2 is more flexible there, but adds some overhead. 
Solution 3 doesn't require any software installation on the svn 
server, but doesn't back up the complete svn data.

I'd do no. 2. You'll use a run before script to create the dump, and 
point the file set at the resulting file. A restore will need a manual 
  'svnadmin load' afterwards.

Of course, before implementing any of this, you'll have to set up your 
basic Bacula system, i.e. create a basic configuration, run the tests, 
and get used to adding clients and jobs.

Sure - you just set up the appropriate schedule.

Start with the user guide, and just start reading it. You'll get some 
understanding of Bacula, and you can go back to the sections you 
didn't completely understand once you need that information. Don't 
bother with the developers guide.

Post them, and we'll see if we can help you...
