Abstract

A method for execution by one or more processing modules of one or more computing devices of a dispersed storage network (DSN), the method begins by maintaining dispersed storage network (DSN) storage and maintenance loading information. The method continues by estimating a future data access task rate and determining a probability level of potential future data loss based on the estimated future data access task rate. The method continues, when the probability level of the potential future data loss compares unfavorably to a maximum probability of data loss threshold level, by facilitating execution of a preventative data loss mitigation process and when a current data access task rate is greater than a maximum task rate level, suspending the execution of the preventative data loss mitigation process.
