Abstract
A method includes determining whether a substantially similar data object to a data object is stored in a dispersed storage network (DSN). When the substantially similar data object is not stored in the DSN, the method includes dividing the data object into a plurality of data segments; encoding the plurality of data segments to produce a plurality of encoded data segments, wherein an encoded data segment of the plurality of encoded data segments includes a first number of data blocks and a second number of parity blocks; arranging the data blocks and the parity blocks of the plurality of encoded data segments into a matrix; establishing a set of encoded data slices from the matrix; and outputting the set of encoded data slices to storage units of the DSN for storage therein.
