Overview
Module: Sonarr & Radarr
Activity type: Homework / independent application
Objective: Explain how Sonarr turns parsed release information into season folders and episode filenames.
Requirements
Write a proposed Sonarr naming policy for your environment, including series folder, season folder, standard episode, daily episode, anime episode, and multi-episode formats.
Explain which metadata your policy preserves and why each element is useful during recovery.
Draw the host and container paths used by your download client, Sonarr, and media server. Mark the download staging area and final library.
Determine whether your intended source and destination are on the same filesystem using read-only inspection appropriate to your platform.
Select one noncritical series and document Sonarr's proposed rename output without applying it.
Create a checklist for identifying duplicate episode identities, unexpected samples, orphaned files, and series stored under the wrong root.
Document how you would restore Sonarr's database and naming configuration if a bulk rename produced incorrect mappings.
