  • receiving information related to a completion time of a data storage operation starting before a first time and required to be completed before the first time, wherein the data storage operation creates copies of at least a portion of the original data set;

    estimating a modified completion time based on the completion time and based on a time required to encrypt the created copies of the at least portion of the data set; and

    when the modified completion time occurs after the first time, encrypting data contained in the created copies after creation of the copies; and

    when the modified completion time occurs before the first time, encrypting data contained in the created copies during creation of the copies.
