If you have a reasonable budget *and* an intranet, you can consider implementing a Google Appliance and pointing it at the network location that houses the documents. The side benefit is that documents can be found/accesses via browser.
I helped small business recently to setup all their laptops with Foldershare (free). These laptops now sync with each other and also with a office server that is running the same program. Users are educated to only work on files within the shared directories and weekly backups are run off the backup server in the office.
This way, anytime the user is online (in the office or out in the field), the sync service ensures that files are being copied to other laptops as well as the office server.
Foldershare seems to do ok with open files, but I am not sure how it will handle MSDE data files. It also has some limites on file size and the number of files per library, but it may be a good solution for smaller clients.

Obama needs to get new designers for the site. Or Doug Jackson and Laura Clark GSA need to get some updated training in HTML. :-)
