I will not advise any only-drive LTO solution: if you need to spend less money, 
you could take a look at the Tandbergdata's (opps: Overland) 1U storageloader 
with LTO4 or 5, it's very cheap.
Any "no library" LTO solutions, will require a lot of operator work, it will 
make your solution quite unusable.

The official bacula online bacula documentation ( 
http://www.bacula.org/7.0.x-manuals/en/main/index.html ) it's pretty good.
