I'm looking for the best way to achieve the above, i.e. having the
entire message base (something like 70,000 messages) available at both
locations. I used to synchronise the home and work computer using a
USB stick but that is cumbersome and error-prone. Two solutions I'm
considering now:

Put the message base on a Linux fileserver and point all installations
of TB at that message base (ie home dektop, laptop, and work desktop),
using a VPN tunnel from work to access the files on the Linux server.
Would that work, or would something in the file structure get messed
up, and would it be fast enough?

The alternative is using the Voyager but I don't really understand how
it works. I assume it copies the message base from home to the USB
stick, and then updates it at work, copies it back at home etc, so
there is always an up-to-date message base on the USB stick and the
home computer? But what if the USB stick is lost on the way home, have
I lost all new messages received at work? Ritlabs seem to suggest no,
but I don't understand how this works.

Any comments, or additional suggestions, very welcome!
