I confirm this point.

The LZO lib is only needed on the client but both the director and the storage 
need to have LZO support.

LZO compression is configured  in the fileset definition. The fileset is 
handled by the director.
The storage need to have LZO enable to recognize the stream type when reading 
tape.

Sure, the client need to be able to uncompress the data stream sent by the 
storage. The portability section of LZO web site shows that LZO could run on a 
large number of OS. I guess on every OS when bacula can run.
