I would also like an API of some sort that would allow me to create a backup script. Doing manual backups is painful.
The shirtless wonder
I wrote a script (bash) that I run out of cron for daily backups. PM if you'd like it.
An API would be better than the solution I have but what I have works.

I wrote a Perl Script that grabs my weekly summary (including notes, weather, and course) then I post it to my blog. A lot of things can be done with Perl and no API, it is just a bit harder. The package I use is the HTML::TreeBuilder package.
The manual backup is intentional. The backup operation is very taxing on the server. I have very limited resources because RA relies completely on donations. I don't want to charge a membership fee because I want RA to be available to everyone. When I receive sufficient donations to pay for a second server, I will reconsider the idea.
