# 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)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
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:
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure you use 2 separate root folders in Radarr/Sonarr (movies-hd, movies-uhd, tv-hd, tv-uhd, etc)
|
||||
|
||||
------
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1
|
||||
|
||||
!!! info ""
|
||||
In this example I'm going to use 2 Radarr (The basics is the same for Sonarr).
|
||||
|
||||
- `Radarr 1` = My main 4K/2160p (UHD) Radarr.
|
||||
- `Radarr 2` = My 1080p Radarr that I've setup for streaming optimized quality profile [link](#1080p-streaming-optimized).
|
||||
|
||||
This option is best used if you want a 1:1 copy of your Radarr/Sonarr instances
|
||||
|
||||
#### Adding the Radarr Sync list
|
||||
|
||||
In `Radarr 2` go to `Settings` => `Lists`
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
??? faq "When Radarr shall consider a movie is available - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"
|
||||
- Announced: Radarr shall consider movies available as soon as they are added to Radarr. This setting is recommended if you have good private trackers that do not have fakes.
|
||||
- In Cinemas: Radarr shall consider movies available as soon as movies they hit cinemas. This option is not recommended.
|
||||
- Released: Radarr shall consider movies available as soon as the Blu-ray is released. This option is recommended if your indexers contain fakes often.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Radarr Download client setup
|
||||
|
||||
You don't need a separate download client for your 2 Radarr instances, this all can be done with 1 download client or 2 if you prefer Usenet and Torrents.
|
||||
|
||||
`Settings` => `Download Clients`
|
||||
|
||||
![Radarr - Settings Download Clients](images/radarr-settings-download-clients.png)
|
||||
|
||||
Select your preferred download client.
|
||||
|
||||
![Radarr - Settings Download Clients Categories](images/radarr-settings-download-clients-categories.png)
|
||||
|
||||
Only thing you need to change/create is a separate `Category` that you're going to use for `Radarr 2`
|
||||
|
||||
!!! attention
|
||||
|
||||
This can't and shouldn't be the same category you use for `Radarr 1` but a separate `Category`.
|
||||
|
||||
### How does this Radarr Sync work
|
||||
|
||||
You now only need to make use of `Radarr 1` all movies your add to `Radarr 1` will be synced to `Radarr 2` at a scheduled time.

This is a special quality profile i created for people who are really interested in it
|
||||
|
