This is my first time posting here, I will try to be thorough but brief.
I'm running
FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201506042008
I'm using iSCSI files for attaching storage on windows server 2003/2008 machines. I use the iSCSI volumes formatted as dedicated backup volumes for windows.
I want to know, is it possible to copy the iSCSI file that FreeNAS created, to another machine and somehow mount the file, like as if we were a VHD? If not, what are some ideas on recovering data from those iSCSI files (without copying the file to another FreeNAS installation and setting up iSCSI)?
Bottom line is, I want to be able to access the contents of the iSCSI file, preferably from windows.
