Windows 2016 storage server (NAS) iSCSI VHDX virtual disk - backup method?

$

I have a Windows 2016 storage server (NAS) with a local iSCSI Target virtual disk that stores video files. I understand the .vhdx virtual disk is always open (shared). I also understand this "virtual disk" is not a true VM disk from a technical standpoint.

Consequently, a shadow copy or snapshot is not possible at the time of a backup. Hyper V is not installed on the NAS - I don't think its compatible with iSCSI virtual disks. What product, Microsoft or other can I utilize to backup the open shared iSCSI drive and when a restore is needed will allow one to drill down to the file(s) to be restored vs. restoring the entire iSCSI drive image? 

Thanks, 

Milty
