How do you backup Google Documents? Can any of the popular backup utilities do that for you as part of your whole-company backup plan? That would be pretty cool.

I know you can use pop (and maybe imap) to pull email out of GMail. but can you recommend a product that can handle slurping and backing up all the mail for your domain?

This will apparently do it from the desktop: http://gs.fhtino.it/gdocbackup

You can also do it direct from the web UI. Just select all your documents from the Google Docs homescreen, click on the "Download..." link in the righthand column, and it will ask you what formats you want then generate a zip file to download.

I don't know of a command line script that uses OAuth (GDocsBackup has a command line mode but uses password auth.) Anyone?

So basically no way to automate backups. In the real world, that usually translates into "doesn't really have backups".

There are plenty of apps on the marketplace. I assume they're all automated.

Cyberduck allows to you bulk download them as well at once.
