If you have a VPN between your home and your office, you can use the same SQL Server for both home and office. Otherwise, you will need to backup and restore it when you move from home to office (unless you want to have 2 separate copies of the design-time data). As for the StrataFrame and StrataFrameInternal databases, you don't need to deploy them with your application since they're only used by the design-time components of the application.
