sounds like an awesome setup. So in theory you could restore your backup system drive from the workstation to a laptop as you are running the vanilla kernel ? How would one do that in practice ? I was thinking about a way to sync my workstation and Laptop in an easy way on a system level at night/morning..would something like this work for that ? EG using the nightly system drive image of the workstation and clone it to the laptop in the morning ?

Yes, in fact I have restored from my workstation to my mac mini and MBP in the past. Closing across two drives daily is probably not worth it. You'd be better off rsync / rdiff over your local network

  ok sounds reasonable, but can you also sync system files (like installed homebrew etc) that way ?

    Yes, you can sync /opt/ and make sure to have some key excludes in there (/var/ and /etc/ being the most likely)
