The solution for this problem is a backup system.

A centralized server makes syncing easier, but it also adds restrictions, 
because you only can sync when you have access to the server. The syncing 
framework we are working on should allow to sync without a server. So you can 
sync your computer at work with your computer at home, but you can also sync 
your PDA with your laptop when you have no net access, or your laptop with 
your computer at home, etc.
