backup.yaml sounds nice but what stops you from going 1 step further and implementing it using scheduled tasks service? (cron.yaml) 

All pieces are already there, you just need to connect them together.

We are working hard on improving the built-in backup experience, but in the meantime:

The datastore admin is open source so you can make the backup MR do what every you want:  http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/source/browse/trunk/python/google/appengine/ext/datastore_admin/backup_handler.py 

You can already use cron.yaml to schedule backups:  https://developers.google.com/appengine/articles/scheduled_backups
