I would like to get an idea on how I can setup a low cost AES 256 encryption on 
Backup Exec. It can be software or hardware based. Any assistance would be 
appreciated.

The current versions of Backup Exec support software-based encryption with the 
usual cpu-hit caveats.   You can also go with something like a Decru DataFort - 
there is a SCSI variant as well as fibre variant.  We use a bunch of these in 
front of our LTO-3 drives.

If cost is the primary factor, then the software approach might be the 
cheapest.  Depending on how many drives you have, it might also be cheaper to 
replace a single LTO-2 with an LTO-4 although then you don't think you get 
backwards read-compatibility for your LTO-2 tapes.

Lots of options...
