Well it's a matter of does the laptop leave the house?

Do you take it to work?

Setting a shared drive to mount at login is not a big deal, takes 30 seconds to set up but when you take the laptop out of WIFI range the share drops and won't automagically reconnect when back in range.

So you can either set a little desktop alias to manually mount it when you want to or a script that mounts it when Time Machine kicks off.
