I have a project that a database sits on a redhat server, however I need a windows application to see this data as a logical drive (backup purpose)

Is there a way to mount a Red Hat share as an iSCSI volume in windows? Or another way to get the same end result?
 
If I understand this correctly, you want some sort of database to be running on the Linux box, but also have access to this data through a windows box as a Logical drive.

iSCSI on its own will not completely solve this problem since you will need a shared disk file system like GFS2, or else you will have a lot of problems with data consistency.

I'm not sure if there are any such file systems which are compatible with Linux and Windows though.
 
Don't make it too complicated :)

Have your RH box make a database dump & write it to a share on the windows backup server.

Investigate: pgdump (postgres) or mysqldump (mysql)

If you are using a different db post here..
