Invoking the backup process via a cron job

[raydon]

Hey all,

  I'm excited about the new backup feature but I'd really like to know how to kick it off via some daily cron job.  We're using the Java version of GAE.  I don't want my backup process to rely on me clicking a button each morning :)

Thanks,

Raydon

Yeah, that seems like a pretty huge missing feature.  I put in an issue for it.
