Abstract
A method for determining a storage location includes one or more processing modules of one or more computing devices of a storage network (SN) receiving a data object to store in a storage network (SN) and determining whether the data object is subject to a legal restriction, where a data object is subject to a legal restriction based on the data object requiring storage in a jurisdiction that subjects the data object to a retention policy. The method continues by determining one or more attributes of a first storage location of a plurality of storage locations and based on a determination that the data object is subject to a legal restriction and at least one attribute of the one or more attributes of the first storage location, transmitting a write threshold number of write requests to a plurality of SUs at the first storage location.
