I'm a big fan of Google Docs for SME, having used it for two years in my current company, set it up for a startup project, and recommending it to folks starting a business.  While it takes away much of the pain and cost of providing these services locally, there is the nagging issue of not having a comprehensive 3rd party disaster recovery system in place.  This was highlighted to me by a recent blog post from e1lven.com titled Why no company that values their data should EVER Go Google.Google has a couple of stop gap, partial measures (like automatic forwarding of emails to another address).  But there does not seem any native-Google approach to backup Google Apps data.  Are there any automated periodic backup services for Google Apps data?
Automated periodic backup of Google Apps (email, docs, calendar)?

I use backupify for online backups of gmail, flickr, twitter etc. There also appears to be a version for google apps(business version so you'll probably pay for it) but it's a great service and I've restored from it before.
