A method for time-aligning data sent from a first storage system to a second storage system, the method includes (i) receiving multiple data units and a synchronization message, by a controller of the second storage system (SSS) and while applying a synchronous replication scheme; the multiple data units comprise first snapshot (S) data units and second snapshot (S) data units; the synchronization message indicates that a controller of the FSS has changed an allocation of data units from the Sto the S; and (ii) associating SSS timestamps with the multiple data units, wherein the associating of the SSS timestamps includes (a) associating a SSS timestamp related to the Sfor each Sdata unit, regardless a timing relationship between a time of reception of the synchronization message and a time of reception of the Sdata unit; and (b) delaying an association of a SSS timestamp related to the Sfor each Sdata unit, until receiving the synchronization message.
