This invention relates to the field of
data security technology and discloses a method, apparatus,
computer equipment, and storage medium for data destruction. The method includes: acquiring the number of a first destruction
queue from the previous period, the number of undestroyed data blocks, the identification information of the undestroyed data blocks, the real-time
resource utilization rate of the processor, and the real-time
resource utilization rate of memory; determining whether to regenerate the destruction
queue based on multiple elements selected from the number of undestroyed data blocks, the real-time
resource utilization rate of the processor and memory, the theoretical resource
utilization rate of the processor, the theoretical resource
utilization rate of memory, and a preset floating threshold; when it is determined to regenerate the destruction
queue, determining the number of a second destruction queue based on the number of the first destruction queue and a preset adjustment
queue number; and regenerating multiple destruction queues based on the number of the second destruction queue, the number of undestroyed data blocks, and the identification information of the undestroyed data blocks to destroy data on the target volume. This invention can improve data destruction efficiency.
