According to Laurent, all aspects of the Bacula system (director, storage, & 
client) must be enabled with LZO support. I haven't tested it without LZO 
support in the director and storage devices. If you do, please post your 
findings.

Yes, I would imagine that the client would need to support LZO prior to 
restoring. Yes, it would mean one additional step in the restoration process 
but not an insurmountable one for me.
