Abstract
A method and computer program product are provided to ensure a timely secure data erase by determining an erasure deadline for each physical volume of a plurality of physical volumes and calculating a remaining time for each physical volume. The remaining time is calculated for each physical volume by comparing a current date to the erasure deadline of each physical volume respectively. A secure data erase is performed on the plurality of physical volumes in an order based on the calculated remaining time, where the secure data erase is performed on the physical volume with a shortest calculated remaining time first.
