Make a clone backup between two Readynas 202 over WAN
I have two ReadyNas 202 in two different location. One is primary and one secondary. On the primary I have a very important share wich I would do a backup or copy to a share on the secondary. I want the directory structure to be the same.
I have tried Netgear Replicate, but it make a new directory for every backup! I do not want that! I want a clone of the the directory strukcture.
How should I do? Is Rsync the answer? How does it works?
rsync over ssh is what you want (it is encrypted, normal rsync isn't). There is a guide here: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29929/~/readynas-os-6%3A-setting-up-a-backup-job-with-rsync-over-ssh

Thanks! I tried that. Both with or without SSH. I got error all the time.
Are you using ddns for the hostname? Did you forward the port (22 for ssh, 873 for just rsync) in the destination router to the NAS?

And I can not type destination folder. Why not?
Wich rights shoukld I set on source dir and destination dir? Should I use user and password or not?
These are mostly answered in the guide I posted. For rights/permissions I suggest that you match the owner/group on both shares, and enable rsync as a protocol on the remote share.
