Abstract

A method and apparatus for replicating an image from a source to a destination disk are provided. Specific embodiments may be optimized for single source to multiple destination replication requests, for example. In one embodiment, the present invention provides tools and techniques for synchronous data replication responsive to asynchronous same-source-to-different-destination replication requests.
