+The seed can be a full backup, a differential backup (see <<cloud-seed-provider, `CloudSeedProvider`>>), or a dump from an existing database.
+When using `CloudSeedProvider`, the URI can point also to a folder which contains a backup chain.
 The sources of seeds are called _seed providers_.
 
+Backups have a `.backup` extension, while the dump file can have whatever extension the user chooses.
+For example, the backup file can be called `myBackup.backup`, while the dump can be called `myDump.dump` or also `myBackup.backup`, or any other name.
+
 The mechanism is pluggable, allowing new sources of seeds to be supported (see link:https://www.neo4j.com/docs/java-reference/current/extending-neo4j/project-setup/#extending-neo4j-plugin-seed-provider[Java Reference -> Implement custom seed providers] for more information).
 
 The product has built-in support for seed from a mounted file system (file), FTP server, HTTP/HTTPS server, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Cloud Storage.
