Just a word of caution - I read somewhere that using iSCSI for Time Machine means that you cannot use TM during an OS reinstall to restore your files from the Time Machine archive as iSCSI isn't available at that point. It seems you have to use a locally attached disk or AFP for the support to be there during reinstall. Not sure if thats still the case in Lion or not, I would tend to suspect they still don't consider iSCSI a top tier transport.
