I bought some software on the net called GoodSync.
I use it on average every 2 days to sync my desktop and laptop.
Basically, after setting up your 2 PCs, you tell goodsync what paths to sync and just run it whenever you want to update the other PCs info. Do all my document folders, accounts, firefox database, etc
Advantage is that if the power goes for longer than my UPS lasts, I have the latest documents on the laptop. Also, when going away for a few days, it's a piece of cake to sync all my latest work to the laptop and away I go.
Work similar in principle to what you do when you sync our PC and Cell Phone contacts using ActiveSync.
In addition, the Laptop is usually disconnected form my network and power supplies, so anything nasty that hits the PC won't affect the Laptop. In the event of a serious disaster on the PC, I've lost a max of 2 days work ( or 6 hours at month end ).
