You could switch to rsync-over-ssh, and enable custom snapshots on the destination NAS to give you some rollback/retention.
I am try to set the rsync-over-ssh what should i include under the host the ISP IP address wherr the other NAS is located? I am having the attached error
Generally you'd set up DDNS on the remote system, so you can use a hostname that will track the WAN address of the remote router (which generally will change without notice).
Many Netgear routers have a built-in DDNS service you can use (getting a name like psailist.mynetgear.com. NoIP.com has a free DDNS option, along with paid options.
Most routers will support DDNS. If yours doesn't, you can also install software on a PC that connects to the DDNS service, and periodically refreshes the DDNS IP address.
You also will need to forward the port you are using for rsync-over-ssh in the remote router.
If I go for the NoIP.com for the DDNS being that both our routers will support DDNS do I need to install software on a PC that connects to the DDNS service, and periodically refreshes the DDNS IP address?
In order for the Rsync-over-ssh to operate the PC needs to be switched on? Is there any other option to have a replicate of my ReadyNas on the other Readynas which is at a remote site
Thanks

If your router supports ddns (as most do), then there is no need to put anything on a PC.
You can check this by simply pinging the hostname you pick, and confirming that the IP address matches WAN address of the router.
Note you only need a DDNS name for the remote router, and you don't need to configure DDNS at all in the local router.

Since your router supports DDNS, then no.

The other approach is to set up a VPN that will reach the remote NAS. One option for this is to use ZeroTier. There is an ReadyNAS app for that - not sure off-hand where it is, but Sandshark would know. ZeroTier can be intimidating, but the basics aren't too difficult.
But I think you are close to getting rsync-over-ssh up and running, so maybe just stick with that.
