rsync of iSCSI
I've been trying to find this and have not been successful. Can someone describe the steps to backup from one readynas 2100 to another readynas 2100 using rsync where I want to backup a iSCSI targe...

But what about the rsync information for an iSCSI target? where does that get setup?
The iSCSI target is just a disk image and not a share, so it can't be shared over rsync. The backup manager can push the iSCSI disk image out over rsync, however.

And, what if the remote is also a ReadyNAS? Does it still go to a share? If so, then how do I get the
backup file on the remote ReadyNAS to be available as an iSCSI target?
The backup manager can only access shares, so yes, it would go to a share. To make the disk image into a target, create the target on the remote ReadyNAS, use the backup manager to back the disk image up to a share, then connect to the data volume share (normally C) as the admin user and move the disk image to the root of the data volume. You would need to restart the iSCSI server for the change to take effect.
