Hi Art, Roger Just a quick comment. If you are using the MYSQL backend you can sync databases on different machines reasonably easily using MYSQL master-slave replication (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/replication.html) as an alternative to maintaining a mobile copy.
There is a bit of a learning curve in setting it up and some maintenance if the databases do get out of sync. I use it on a Linux desktop and my Linux laptop to keep a number of application databases synced using SSL over my LAN. It syncs automatically whenever the laptop is connected to the LAN. I haven't tried syncing from a Linux box to a Windows box but it shouldn't be too much of a problem as it is all done in MYSQL configuration as long as the basic underlying network connectivity is there. There can be timing issues if the databases on different machines are updated at the same time which are not generally a problem for a single user. You can use the TinyCA (https://tinyca.alioth.debian.org/) to generate the necessary SSL certificates. I set MySQL both machines up as master-master servers so that no matter which machine I make changes to the database they are duplicated to the other machine.
