+# How to Sync 2 Radarr or Sonarr with each other
+
+In this Guide I will try to explain how you can sync 2 Radarr/Sonarr with each other.
+
+I'm going to show 2 different options how you can setup your sync with 2 Radarr/Sonarr.
+
+- Option 1: This option is best used if you want a 1:1 copy of your Radarr/Sonarr instances
+- Option 2: This option is best used if you only want to have a few Movies/TV shows as 4K/2160p (UHD)
+
+!!! error ""
+    I'm not going to explain how to set up 2 Radarr/Sonarr for your system, being it depends how you have it installed/running.
+
+## Preparation
+
+For this you need to have prepared the following:
+
+- 2 Radarr/Sonarr fully setup (Indexers, Custom Formats, Downloaders, etc).
+- 1 download client or 2 if you prefer Usenet and Torrents.
+- Your download client has 2 separate categories (movies-hd, movies-uhd, tv-hd, tv-uhd, etc)
+
+!!! attention
+
+    :bangbang:You can't use the same root (media library) folder for both Radarr's/Sonarr's:bangbang:
