When you have a TMG Backup file (SQZ file), you need to open TMG and select
File=>Restore from the menu. This applies no matter where the SQZ file was
created. It may be from the desktop to the laptop, or from the laptop to
the desktop. And you may even go from the desktop/laptop to itself (when
you have messed up so much that you want to start the day/session over
again <g>). So when you work on the dataset on the laptop, just do a
backup and take it to the desktop and File=>Restore it there.

Hope this helps -
