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.
Right now I physically plug the backup drive in whenever I'm home and unmount and unplug it when I take the laptop on a job. Manually mounting it from the desktop without having to physically plug it in will be easier, so I'll go that route.
