This isn't a bacula topic, is a iscsi topic. ISCSI rcf says that any 
scsi device is contemplated (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3720) and 
thus is possible to export as a iscsi device. SCST iscsi implementation 
(http://scst.sourceforge.net/index.html) says that this is possible via 
SCSI pass-through.

You can investigate others iscsi framework/target proyects:
