I had to modify the autoloader script to enable LTO encryption after loading each tape, so this script is already called every time Bacula wants a tape loaded. I imagine you could add some commands to this same script to check whether the drive is requesting cleaning, and if so, load a cleaning tape, wait until it's ejected, then load the tape originally requested and continue. This way Bacula wouldn't notice anything except once in a while it takes much longer than normal to load a tape, but the cleaning tape would be automatically used as needed. Having said that, my library (an old HP unit that came with an LTO3 drive) can be set to automatically load a cleaning tape when the drive requests one, so I imagine most tape libraries have this functionality in them somewhere.
