The easiest way to do a backup of your TMG dataset on your desktop, copy that
to you laptop, and Restore from that file on the Laptop. When you get home,
reverse the procedure.

Depending on the size of your dataset, it's easiest if you have a network
connection, or you can copy the backup to a CD. But since your laptop doesn't
read (our do you mean write) CDs, you can do it with floppies. TMG's backup
procedure will use multiple floppies if necessary.

If you have done much customizing of the setup, you might also want to do a
backup of your configuration and "restore" that on the laptop too.
