Configure the plugin via Administration > Plugins > Redmine Scrum Plugin > Configure. Pick a tracker to represent your tasks, and one or more trackers to represent your stories. You may want to create new trackers specifically for this purpose under Administration > Trackers.

You will need to enable the Backlogs module per project via Settings > Modules on your project. Also, make check that the right roles have permission to use the module by going to Administration > Roles and Permissions > Permissions Report.

You may schedule a cron job to run the rake task named redmine:backlogs_plugin:generate_chart_data. I recommend you run it a few minutes before midnight to ensure that your backlogs have data everyday even when no user views the charts.
