A method begins with a processing module obtaining data to store and determining whether substantially similar data to the data is stored. When the substantially similar data is not stored, the method continues with the processing module generating a first encryption key based on the data, encoding the first encryption key into encoded data slices in accordance with an error coding dispersal storage function, and storing the encoded data slices in a dispersed storage network (DSN) memory. The method continues with the processing module encrypting the data using an encryption key of the substantially similar data in accordance with an encryption function to produce encrypted data, compressing the encrypted data in accordance with a compression function to produce compressed data, storing the compressed data when the substantially similar data is stored.

A computer includes an interface and a processing module. The processing module receives, over time and via the interface, requests to playback recorded broadcast data, wherein a single copy of the recorded broadcast data is dispersed error encoded to produce a plurality of sets of encoded data slices that is stored in a dispersed storage network (DSN). In response to the playback requests, the processing module identifies unique combinations of at least a threshold number of encoded data slices for sets of the plurality of sets of encoded data slices to produce unique copies of the recorded broadcast data. For a particular playback request, the processing module retrieves a unique copy of the unique copies of the recorded broadcast data from the DSN and outputs, via the interface, the retrieved unique copy to a device associated with the particular playback request.

A method begins by a processing module obtaining an encoded data slice and an associated slice name. The method continues with the processing module determining a dispersed storage (DS) unit for storing the encoded data slice based on at least one of the encoded data slice and the associated slice name and estimating a performance level of the DS unit to produce an estimated DS unit performance level. The method continues with the processing module sending the encoded data slice to the DS unit for storage therein and when the estimated DS unit performance level compares unfavorably with a performance threshold, facilitating storage of the encoded data slice in temporary memory to produce a temporarily stored encoded data slice, wherein the temporarily stored encoded data slice is retrieved in response to a retrieval request when confirmation of the DS unit storing the encoded data slice has not been received.
