Mirror Disk

creating a mirror disk uses a file with a .kmr extension. How can we read back the data from that disk image? For instance I want to make a mirror copy of the target and after it's completed synchronization, take the disk offsite as a backup. How can I get the information back or even verify that it is what I want? What is special about the kmr file type?
Thank you.

You may mount the kmr file as an iSCSI target, just like the .img file.

Larry, How well does the backup to external work for you? Have you ever had to recover with the image from the external? I am thinking of doing the same thing and wondering how well it is working for you.

Im currently running Nas4Free with one 3TB WD Red disk. I am planning on buying another identical disk, and would like to add it to my zpool as a mirror. Is this possible to do without destroying my zpool and creating another? If so, how would I go about accomplishing this?
Thanks in advance.

Please try newest 4.3 version, which added support for third-party iSCSI as mirror source or target device.
