API Access to Data Export Zip Files?

I have weekly backups configured using SF's data export functionality. I also have Google Apps connected to SF via OAuth 2. I'd like to move the data export ZIP files to Google Drive - i.e. a simple cloud-to-cloud transfer. (It seems silly to have to manually download the backups and then upload them to Google Drive.) Is there a SF API that provides access to those ZIP archives?

Thanks for any info or insight you can provide,

-Steve

Hi,


One approach is to use the SOAP API to automatically establish a session using securely stored credentials. Once the session is established you can use the Session ID and Server URL to send a web request to the page that contains the Data Export, parse out the download links, and then pull the zip files down and store them locally. Depending on the duration of the transfer you may need to recover from a lost session.

From below link.
