My Mac app, CloudPull, does something similar. CloudPull backs up Google Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Drive (formery Docs) and Reader to your Mac. http://www.goldenhillsoftware.com/
CloudPull stores your password securely in the Mac OS X keychain.
No, CloudPull does not restore directly back to Google. You could do this independently by restoring to Apple Mail, and then importing into Gmail or another IMAP account.
Sorry, CloudPull has no ability to restore directly to Google. My emphasis has been restoring to local apps. In all cases, there are ways of importing back into Google, but none that the app does on its own.
The ability to restore directly to Google is on my roadmap for future versions.

I looked through your web site and one question remained unanswered:
Does it also do cloud push? In other words, can I use your app to restore the backups to a different Gmail account later?

Two problems with that:
1. I'd rather have one app do the whole thing, so that I know it's tested and it works.
2. How about labels, contact, calendars, etc?
I'd pay for this app, but only if it allowed full roundtrip.

Nice! That looks very well executed. Personally I'm glad to see you explicitly mention that it's read-only. Separation of concerns and all that.
