There are a couple of ways, but before restoring the iSCSI file, you will need to re-create a new one with the same name & same size in Frontview. Once that's done, using one of the methods below, copy over the newly created file with your backup copy. You'll need to stop the iSCSI service for the copy, restart it & then re-connect the client device:
1. With the "EnableRootSSH" add-on installed, you could use a program like WinSCP to access the root data partition (aka 'c') and copy the iSCSI target over (it's just a large file) from the USB.
2. You can access the data partition as 'admin' and copy the file over using Windows Explorer. This requires that you map a drive to the 'admin' share as per below. Note: this only works if USER SECURITY MODE, not in SHARE LEVEL SECURITY.
The 'c' share is an administrative share (automatically built-in) and only accessible by the admin account. You can map a drive to it by opening a command prompt in Windows and entering the following command:
Connect the USB drive to your PC and then drag and drop the iSCSI file to the root of the 'c' volume (which, in the example above, would be the root of the T: drive):

Enter the password for 'admin' to connect to 'ip.address.of.nas':
The command completed successfully.
