So... are these two offices different buildings at the same property, or are they entirely separate places (like your town home and your country estate)? If it's all local, it should be possible to arrange shared access, and if the places are geographically distinct it should be possible to arrange synchronization over the internet (if things stay powered up both places, which you may prefer not to do, and if you have appropriate bandwidth available). Synchronizing between geographically-diverse locations, if done cleverly (you wouldn't want to synchronize the loss or corruption of a file, so it's not a trivial problem) would help keep things backed up. -Jeff
