A mirroring application running on a primary server in a multiple destination mirroring environment is provided. The mirroring application configures a scanner with snapshots that are registered. The scanner calculates a logical age for each snapshot. The scanner scans a flexible volume once for data blocks that are newer than a predetermined snapshot. The scanner tags each such block with a logical age that is equivalent to the oldest snapshot that refers to that block. The scanner loads the tagged blocks in a queue. A sender module associated with each destination in the mirroring environment inspects blocks in the queue and retrieves only those blocks younger than a destination reference snapshot. The sender sends those blocks to the destination and filters out older blocks, thus bringing the destination mirror up to date with the current active file system.
