Methods and apparatus for use in a dispersed storage network (DSN) to facilitate migrating encoded data slices in the DSN. In one example, when detecting a failing memory within a dispersed storage unit, an encoded data slice can be encrypted so as to create a migrated data slice with migrated data slice is forward for storage within an alternate dispersed storage unit. A signing key can be further applied to the migrated data slice and/or a nonce can be included within the migrated data slice. In response to a request for the encoded data slice that has been migrated, the dispersed storage unit can receive the migrated data slice from the alternate dispersed storage unit and decrypt the migrated data slice to recover the encoded data slice which can then be forwarded to the requesting entity.
