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 target.
Specifically....
does the iSCSI target have to exist on the remote ReadyNAS2100 or will it be created automagically
I can select the local iSCSI target in step 1 of the backup.. that makes sense.
however, in step 2, it seems "remote: Rsync Server" is the correct choice, and it seems
the host should be the IP Address or hostname of the remote ReadyNAS. So, what is the PATH set to,
and where do LOGIN and PASSWORD get defined? Are they setup on the remote ReadyNAS in Security - Users and Groups?
What about the option for SSH? If I use that, do I not enter anything into the LOGIN and PASSWORD fields?
How Do I get the public key installed on the remote server?
Is there any benefit to enabling "compression"?
and finally, can the backup of an iSCSI target actually do incrementals, or will it always backup
the entire target?
thanks

- hi, im new to the forum and stubled on this thread... can some one elaborate on this?
"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."
i already backed up a LUN to a remote rsync server. It created a large file on the remote server. How do i make it a target?
1. create the target on the remote ReadyNAS - this is an iscsi target right?
2. use the backup manager to back the disk image up to a share - can you show step by step?
3. 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 = please show step by step.
4. You would need to restart the iSCSI server for the change to take effect." = please show step by step
thanks. - Does anyone have the steps required to accomplish this?
Thanks
