1. A method comprises:
- receiving a retrieval request for a file;
determining whether the file is being migrated from a legacy storage system to a dispersed error coding storage system;
when, the file is being migrated from the legacy storage system to the dispersed error coding storage system, determining a retrieval option for the file; and
based on the retrieval option, retrieving the file in at least one of;
a legacy format from the legacy storage system; and
a plurality of sets of encoded data slices from the dispersed error coding storage system.

Abstract
A method begins by a processing module receiving a retrieval request for a file and determining whether the file is being migrated from a legacy storage system to a dispersed error coding storage system. The method continues with the processing module determining a retrieval option for the file when the file is being migrated from the legacy storage system to the dispersed error coding storage system. The method continues with the processing module retrieving the file, based on the retrieval option, in at least one of a legacy format from the legacy storage system and a plurality of sets of encoded data slices from the dispersed error coding storage system.
