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 receiving a data object for storage in a plurality of storage vaults. The method continues by encoding the data object in accordance with dispersal parameters of the storage vault to produce a corresponding plurality of sets of encoded data slices. The method continues by generating a unique revision number to associate with the data object. The method continues by facilitating storage of the corresponding plurality of sets of encoded data slices with the unique revision number and facilitating data synchronization between the plurality of storage vaults based on the unique revision numbers of stored data.
