Prashant,
This is quite simple.  here are the necessary steps:
1.  Create different storage devices for the two tape drives, *with
different media types* (LTO2 and LTO4 would be the obvious types).
2.  Create a separate Pool of volumes for each media type.  (Say,
LTO2-pool with volumes of type LTO2, and LTO4-pool with volumes of type
LTO4.)
3.  Use the Full Pool, Differential Pool and Incremental Pool directives
in your JobDefs to specify the correct Pool for each level.  Bacula will
figure out the correct storage device to use based on the media type
specified in the Pool.
