I like Google Docs service very much. At the same time I don't trust anyone... here come two unofficial ways how to backup Google Docs documents:

Enjoy!

Update:
Checkout also Gladinet Cloud Desktop at http://www.gladinet.com. Its free and makes it easy to Backup Google Docs. You can mount your Google Docs folder as a local drive in explorer and move files back and forth between Google Docs and your desktop. You can also create scheduled backups to Google Docs or to a Redundant Array of Cloud Storage.

MR & Google Notebook Integration

Being RESTafarian for couple of years I thought that the integration of MindRaider with Google Notebook will be a piece of cake... well, it wont be that easy, more precisely it will be very interesting challenge.

The first integration use case I would like to implement is synchronization of GNotebooks to MR. I have downloaded GData client, shared a GNotebook, downloaded the Atom feed for that notebook, and created MrNotebook for it. Then I wanted to authenticate, but I determined that GData API for the Notebook is read-only.

I'm going to start where others ended - integrations are not about public APIs only ;-) Actually I think that the Google doesn't allow to post items to notebooks intentionally - legal, spam, timing? That's why I believe that the private API will be relatively stable. Having reasonable knowledge of HTTP (proxy) and Google Notebook FireFox plug-in installed (open source code communicating with private API) I'm pretty confident to be able to publish MrNotebooks.

Stay tuned...
