Migratr (http://www.callingshotgun.net/about/migratr/) is a brilliant tool
for exporting metadata - it's designed to move data between hosting sites
but it works as a local backup too.

It won't automate the job of pushing the data back into your local
application.

Migratr is Windows-only but apparently a similar app
http://sunkencity.org/flickredit works on Macs.
