If you want to backup the snapshots made on your filer volume, you can use ndmp to backup to tape or use snapvault to transfer the snapshots to a secondary filer (or snapmirror if you like).

I have an external Windows Server and software iSCSI.

License is only iSCSI on the filer.

You can use NDMP to redirect the snapshot to a backupstream over the the network, or directly to tape, attached to the filer using NDMP as well.

Most backup implementations support NDMP, so that shouldn't be that big of a problem.
