I'm new to FreeNas so please be patient with me. What is the easiest way to backup zfs volumes to external hard drive? I have 3 1Tb drives in RaidZ raid. Thank you for your help.

If you're able to mount the drive and it's formatted with a filesystem FreeNAS can write to, you can use the cp command from the command line.
