I appreciate the response, but more than that I appreciate the work you've put into calibre over the years! Calibre is a great program and the fact that it doesn't do everything (yet) is perfectly understandable - I'm sure the TODO list is quite long!

However, I do wish there were an easier way, as rsyncing into the sever is not "simple" from where I'm sitting :-) That means I need to:
- work out what service I need to setup on the (windows) server to accept incoming connections.
- set it up and configure it
- work out what I need on the (windows) laptop to run rysnc
- debug the inevitable connection issues caused by my lack of knowledge / mistakes
- work out how to script rsync
- work out how to script starting and stopping remote services
- put it all together
- hope I haven't created a security hole somewhere!
- (put up with having to have a separate full copy of the library on the laptop)

If this is the only way, I will spend tomorrow googling and work out how to do this, but isn't there any alternative? Anyone else tried this?
