My shack computer saves the log etc. in the usual place (SAVE
directory).  I use a program called SyncBackSE to synchronize that
SAVE directory to a separate location on my local network.  The
computer in the home office upstairs accesses the log from that
synchronized network location.  Otherwise, it gets all of its other
files from its local SAVE directory.  Other than having to be careful
to re-open the log on the "other" computer when I make changes on one
of them, I don't sync any other data files. I use the DX4WIN Data
Updater to keep the data files on both computers in sync.

I use the "Secondary backup directory" on each computer so that if I
accidentally don't re-open the log after a change on the other
computer, I'll still have a copy of the modified log (the one I
"overwrote") to merge back in if necessary.  So far this system has
worked out OK, though I wish DX4WIN worked more like the contest
logging programs where the QSOs are synchronized across the network.
