+title: "FAQ: How can I sync from one source to multiple targets?"
+---
+If you got multiple targets, you simple specify the sync command multiple times.
+
+{% highlight lua %}
+sync{ default.rsync, source='/sourcedir', target='targethost1:/targetdir' }
+sync{ default.rsync, source='/sourcedir', target='targethost2:/targetdir' }
+sync{ default.rsync, source='/sourcedir', target='targethost3:/targetdir' }
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+Lsyncd will notice multiple uses of the same source directory or the use of a subdirectory of an already used source directory and creates only watch per subdirectoy watched in any sync.
+
+To remedy the multiplication of the same configuration you can even use a loop to configure multiple targets.
+
+This is the same configuration as before using a loop:
+
+{% highlight lua %}
+targets = {
+    'targethost1:/targetdir',
+    'targethost2:/targetdir',
+    'targethost3:/targetdir',
+}
+
+for _, target in ipairs( targets )
+do
+    sync{ default.rsync, source='/sourcedir', target=target }
+end
+{% endhighlight %}

 This almost always caused by the fact you specified a network mounted directory as source.
