Abstract
A method begins by a processing module receiving updated weighting factors for each of a plurality of storage sets. The method continues with the processing module identifying locally stored encoded data slices of a plurality of locally stored encoded data slices for transfer to one or more storage sets of the plurality of storage sets based on the updated weighting factors. The method continues with the processing module, for each identified locally stored encoded data slice, assigning a transfer priority level. The method continues with the processing module, for each identified locally stored encoded data slice, facilitating transfer of the identified locally stored encoded data slice to the one or more storage sets in accordance with the corresponding assigned transfer priority level.
