I own two plex servers in different locations, is there a possibility to synchronize the files on both servers ? So automatic copying files from one server to the other ?

Thanks Kai

You can sync the media files, but plex is not designed to sync plex metadata or databases.

Watched/Unwatched state can be synced, if the agent is identically selected on both servers. [https://support.plex.tv/articles/sync-watch-state-and-ratings/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/sync-watch-state-and-ratings/)

You want to stick very closely to the recommended media file naming, to keep manual corrections of media title matching to an absolute minimum. [https://support.plex.tv/articles/categories/your-media/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/categories/your-media/)
