Bacula does not - yet - have this capability.

The NAS will be VERY much faster than the tape drive.  Could you run the
backup to your NAS, and then run a copy job to the tape drive after it
completes?  This will also free up your client faster.

Caveat:  The NAS and the tape drive MUST be controlled by the same
storage daemon for this to work.
