From your desktop do a file backup
Transfer the .FTMB file to your laptop
Restore it with your copy of FTM on your laptop
Use it in the normal way except any AMT
When you return from travel make another .FTMB file from your laptop
Copy this back to your desktop in to the same folder as it originated from
Now the potentially tricky bit
Rename your "old" FTM file something else
Now restore the .FTMB file keeping the same file name
Now do a file restore
Alternatively....
You can certainly do it by simply copying the .FTM file. My thought with the .FTMB file is that you also deal with the media
What i would do though is make a dummy file and try it before you commit to the main file
