At my former company, we used the D2D2T, which was a Linux box with terabytes of disk storage emulating an LTO tape drive. The backup speed was very fast. The device could either encrypt the backup stream as it was being written to disk, or store the tape image on disk unencrypted. When the disk backup image was written to tape at a later time, it could do the encryption then (if not encrypted previously).
