Another way is to use the Ant Tool

Typically, if people just want to manually download their information once, they use a graphical user interface with this functionality built in, such as Eclipse + the Force.com API.
Typically, if people want to write scripts to download their information on a scheduled basis, they use a command line interface with this functionality built in, such as Ant + the Force.com Migration Tool (sometimes combined with scripts they write in another command-line interface-based programming language that communicate with the data in their organization over Salesforce's ordinary HTTP "REST"-based programming API). Here's one such example: https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Syncing_Salesforce_Org_Metadata_to_Github

Once you have this installed:
- Open a Mac or Windows command line and navigate to the installed file.
- Type force login from the command line. This will open a web browser and prompt you to login.
- After the login is complete, close the browser window and switch back to the command line.
- Type force export. This will download your metadata to the directory you are currently in. Optionally, you can pass a directory name, like this: force export metadata_export_080917
Alternatively, you can look at automated backup and recovery tools, like Spanning Backup for Salesforce (https://appexchange.salesforce.com/listingDetail?listingId=a0N3000000B51BgEAJ) ( <-- where I work).Hope that helps.
Use visual basic and and retrieve metadata names thru a command via sfdx:
to retrieve:
You can try File ZIPO, a native appexchange application that integrates your Salesforce org with the most-popular external cloud storage platforms, viz. OneDrive, Amazon S3, Google Drive, Dropbox & Box.com.
