No, there is currently no way to extract or backup the index
files. It
is mainly a design decision from Google, and also probably
because the
files are very large (since the GSA keeps also a cached copy
of
everything).
There are apparently plans in the future to interconnect
several
appliances, to create some virtual cluster (similar to how
Google's
datacentres work).

"However, in a future release, Google will provide the
ability to
daisy-chain them so that together they act as a single
system, he
said."
The hot backup has to crawl the same content as the
production server
(although it can be done with a much lower crawling rate if
necessary).
