Need a laptop solution

We are currently rolling out desktops to a remote site which connects to head
office on a leased 2mb line. 10 vip users are to have laptops and our main
concern is syncing back the data when they return to site and begin to
upload.

For example they may be away form the office for a couple of weeks and
generate 200mb of new data, when they return and connect to the network, the
leased line is obviously going to be hammered.

Anyone got any solutions

Will the laptop users have internet access when remote? If they will then
you should set up their laptops (and the office) with a VPN solution so that
even when remote they will be working with live data on the server rather
than local data that will need to be synced up when they return.
If not, then your best bet is to set up the laptops to sync to their desktop
and upload to the servers after hours via a script.

The laptops users will be set up with Nfuse (citrix) accounts so they will be
aable to connect. This will sync, but obviousy only when they have an
internet connection of some kind. My only concern is when they spend any
length of time ' offline'.

I've looked into offline files and its possible to restrict the the amount
of data that can be saved offline, however this is not a great solution. Even
the desktop PC will have to sync up on the same line but they are 'live' at
all times so dont sync in one go, therefore that removes the sync'in to
desktop pc theory because any large amount of data wll still crash the line.
