Thank you both very much for your very detailed replies. The issues/problems Synapse has brought up, have been in my mind but are now confirmed. I need to think about this carefully, and will let you know which way I go, as hopefully it will be of help to someone else in the future. Best Wishes. Paul.

Hi Thanks for your reply. I just need the best possible way to work with my business files and website from 2 different locations. Would I need to boot from the External hard drive to be able to access the program at these locations? I know that there are other issues to take into consideration, but I'm struggling to understand the logistics of doing this. Paul.

Hi, This is my first post so thanks in anticipation. This was the closest forum I could think of for this question, but it's a fairly general query. My question is this; I work in Real Estate and also build and maintain the company’s website. I work with many client files and thousands of photos etc. I do most of my work from my desktop PC, that is in an office a 30 minute drive away. I also work of a night and weekends from home, and continually bring my computer back and forth between office and home. This is a pain, because of the connecting and disconnecting, and ultimately something is going to break or get damaged. To solve this, I have just bought an external hard drive (WD essential 1T, usb 3.0), and I want to use this instead. I have a desk top PC at both locations, but only the office PC has all my data and programs on. Am I correct in thinking that if I do a full back up onto my new hard drive, I will be able to plug this in at home, and work as though I was in my office. Both operating systems are the same (Windows 7), and the hard drive automatically and continually backs up. All advice would be much appreciated. Best wishes. Paul. PS. I tried working remotely over the net, (teamviewer), but it was too slow and photo resolution was poor quality, and difficult to work with.
