I don't have an LTO-4, but as I recall, LTO-4 drives can implement 
encryption on the drive itself--I'm not sure this is sufficient for your 
purposes, or how to make bacula do it, but doing the encryption in the 
drive would likely be better for performance (drive compression would 
happen before encryption, bacula's encryption may well be 
single-threaded, etc).
