Another quick iSCSI question. Can an iSCSI target be used for backups? I'm not seeing the option for that. When I connect my iSCSI target and LVM, there doesn't seem to be a way to change the content type to anything except Images. I am currently using ProxMox 2.1.
 
No, a backup target needs a file system (use NFS or "directory" storage)
