Seed loading is a technology used primarily in remote data backup solutions. It prevents large amounts of backup data being sent over the Internet. Instead, the backup is performed locally on a storage medium (e.g. an external hard disk) which is then shipped to the external storage ___location, where it is stored in the appropriate account. This method saves the user much time and bandwidth.[1]
In general, this method of external backup is highly effective when the backup solution supports incremental or differential backups. The first backup is then performed using seed load technology; afterwards only new and changed data has to be backed up over the Internet.[2][3]
