R – How to backup your data with hosted issue tracking

backupbug-trackinghostedissue-tracking

I'd like to use a hosted issue-tracking service, but I want to be able
to backup my data in case the service goes under.

Are there any hosted issue-tracking services that have a "data
liberation" strategy and support you periodically copying your
issue-tracking data to your local system?
If not, does anyone have a clever workaround for backing up your
data using an existing hosted issue-tracking service, even if it's in
an unsupported way?
