Backing Up AppEx packages or apps

I have created an App Ex application and some packages.  I would like to download the files I have created to back up my work off of Salesforce's servers.  I can't find a method to easily do this.  Is there some way to download a tar/zipped archive of my work for offsite backup?

You can create a zip during the deploy step in the eclipse IDE, the deploy wizard is documented in the ‘Help’ menu in eclipse.

You could also create a disk representation (exploded from the zip used to transport) using Ant, there is a readme file with the Ant package download.

If you think there should be an easier way please post an idea on ideaexchange!
