Metadata between replicated NAS

I have 2 synology nas servers, nas1 and nas2, one for the west coast and one for the east coast
each has plex installed
each has the same filestructure
I am using Synology Drive ShareSync to sync all media files from nas1 to nas2
Is it possible to sycronize the metadata from nas1 to nas2?
Is it possible to set up a scheduled sync between the two?

while you can “clone” from one to the other, as Master->slave, you MUST PRESERVE “Preferences.xml”.

Preferences.xml contains all the server’s identification information as well as most settings for that machine.

The broad strokes are:

  1. Stop PMS on both machine
  2. COPY Preferences.xml on the SLAVE to preserve it
  3. ‘rsync’ (clone) from Master → Slave AppData → Appdata
  4. RESTORE slave’s saved Preferences.xml
  5. Start PMS on both.

It can be done but takes coordination between two otherwise-autonomous machines.

Thank you for the help. I will give that a try.
