Abstract

A method for execution by a dispersed storage network (DSN). The method begins by obtaining a data object for synchronized storage within a plurality of storage vaults, identifying a plurality of storage vaults, encoding the data object for each storage vault, initiating storage of data slices for each storage vault and interpreting received data slice information from at least some of the storage vaults to determine a number of storage vaults that have successfully stored the corresponding plurality of sets of encoded data slices and when the vault threshold number of storage vaults have not successfully stored the corresponding plurality of sets of encoded data slices within a synchronization timeframe, initiating a rollback process to abandon storage of the data object in the plurality of storage vaults and a store data response to indicate unsuccessful synchronized storage of the data object in the plurality of storage vaults.
