What is ibackup, is it included in OS 10.4, how does it work (short summary)? Does Apple software come with manuals?

You mean "Backup"? It only works with .Mac service, what do you need out of your backup software? What would be ideal for you?

There is indeed an iBackup. From the website:
Product Description:
iBackup is a simple to use backup/restore utility for scheduled backups of your system preferences, like the dock, deskop picture, time settings, firewall, bluetooth and system applications like AddressBook, Mail, Stikies, iChat, iTunes and more.

You can edit these preferences settings and add your own.

iBackup do also backup/restore files, folders and applications.
