=== Seed from URI

This method seeds all servers with an identical seed from an external source, specified by the URI.
The seed can be either a backup or a dump from an existing database.
The seed can either be a full backup, a differential backup (xref:clustering/databases.adoc#cloud-seed-provider[`CloudSeedProvider`], introduced in Neo4j 5.26), or a dump from an existing database.
The sources of seeds are called _seed providers_.

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).

** `gs:`
** `azb:`

Starting from Neo4j 5.26, the `CloudSeedProvider` supports using xref:backup-restore/modes.adoc#differential-backup[differential backup] files as seeds.
With the provided differential backup file, the `CloudSeedProvider` searches the directory containing differential backup files for a xref:backup-restore/online-backup.adoc#backup-chain[backup chain] ending at the specified differential backup, and then seeds using this backup chain.
