PRIORITIZING REBUILDING BASED ON A LONGEVITY ESTIMATE OF THE REBUILT SLICE

摘要

A method begins by determining to rebuild a slice or slices to at least one of multiple distributed storage network (DSN) memory locations. The method continues by calculating a future risk estimation of each one of the multiple DSN memory locations, the future risk estimation including one or more risk factors. The method continues by determining a selection of which of the multiple DSN memory locations to rebuild and rebuilding the slice in the DSN memory of the selection.
