This article documents how to seed a Backup Copy job for use with a Cloud Repository from a Veeam Cloud Service Provider.

Critical Notes
Starting with Veeam Backup & Replication v10, there are now two different backup copy modes: Immediate copy and Periodic copy. The mode used to create the seed must match the mode used by the final copy job. It is impossible to use one mode's seed to seed the other mode.
This seeding process is different from the process for migrating to a SOBR. SOBR migration for service providers requires contacting Veeam support for assistance.
As documented in the Veeam Cloud Connect User Guide:
The Service Provider (SP) should not import tenant backups in the SP Veeam backup console to restore data from these backups. To perform such data restore tasks, the SP must deploy a separate backup server in its backup infrastructure. The SP can use its existing Veeam Cloud Connect license on this backup server.
