    Abstract: A method includes determining an encoded data slice of a first subset of encoded data slices associated with a set of encoded data slices requires rebuilding, where the first subset of encoded data slices is stored in a set of storage units and includes at least a decode threshold number of encoded data slices. The method further includes identifying a second encoded data slice of a second subset of encoded data slices of the set of encoded data slices, where the second subset of encoded data slices is not currently stored in the set of storage units. The method further includes generating the second encoded data slice from the first subset of encoded data slices and sending the second encoded data slice to the set of storage units, where when stored, the second encoded data slice no longer included in the second subset of encoded data slices.

    Abstract: A method for execution by one or more processing modules of one or more computing devices of a storage network, the method comprises receiving a data object for processing, determining whether the data object is to be transferred to one or more remote storage location, determining whether one or more legal restrictions are associated with the data object. Based on a determination that one or more legal restrictions are associated with the data object, the method continues by determining whether the one or more legal restrictions allow transfer of the data object to a storage unit of the one or more remote storage locations. The method continues by segmenting the data object into a plurality of data segments, dispersed error encoding a data segment of the plurality of data segments in accordance with dispersed error encoding parameters to produce a set of encoded data slice and transmitting a write requests for an encoded data slice of the set of encoded data slices to the storage location for processing.

    Abstract: A method includes error encoding data to produce a plurality of data slices. Metadata is determined for a data slice of the plurality of data slices. The metadata is stored in a metadata storage tree. The data slice is stored in a slice storage location indicated by the metadata. Based on determining to access the data slice, the metadata for the data slice is accessed in the metadata storage tree to determine the slice storage location for the data slice, and the data slice is accessed in the slice storage location based on determining the slice storage location for the data slice via accessing the metadata storage tree.
