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.
