Yes, That would be the normal direction, but I'm thinking ahead to keeping it 
synced on different PC's, e.g mine - so she can logon onto my PC and have her 
desktop nicely synced. A live backup as it were. Not so sure how well this 
will work in practice.

As above, also I have already setup a test setup for her on my PC, would be 
could to just sync it to he real PC.

There might be issues though, I haven't figured out how to stop it syncing the 
cache and tmp folders.
