Hi there, i occasionally have problems reaching my server so I setup another server and set it to actively synchronize with server 1 so that if server 1 goes down for any reason, I can still stream my media from the other server. It works, but it requires me to switch to the corresponding media file on the other server and then scrub to the same time of the movie I was watching. It would be awesome if there was an option to setup the 2 servers to work as a High Availability server with built in synchronization of not only the media files but also the metadata, the watched and unwatched media and so on! whether the servers are on the same network or a separate (2 different physical locations of the servers would be ideal!, but even if that was just a long term goal that would be fine with me!)   Mac ---

You have my vote! I am thinking of getting a 2nd Internet connection so that I can stream at higher data rates from home or bundle the upload speed. Dont know yet what kind of technology I will need for that but I will figure it out.  ---

Dont know yet what kind of technology I will need for that but I will figure it out.  Seems like something fancy! If you start your work on this, feel free to document and share how you did it! I'd be interested to see how and if manage to do it!  Have fun!  ---

2021 clean-up: duplicate > [@\[Feature Request\] Server to Server Sync](https://forums.plex.tv/t/feature-request-server-to-server-sync/136879): > > I did a search and so far haven’t seen this one. I have a friend who lives in Africa and she doesn’t have enough BW to stream from my server but her boy friend set up a Plex server on an old laptop and they can afford Plex Pass. Could we enable shared libraries to be synced from server to server? There would have to be some sort of sanity to the sync, maybe a throttle mechanic or/and a time period where it can go crazy and use all the BW and then throttle back down when people would be awake. …
