Hmm, interesting idea -- please add it to SourceForge. There is a theoretical workaround of taking the airport data (which also includes user-entered airports) and matching the airport IDs there to the airport IDs in your CSV export, but that's not very practical without your own database...

Edited: Also, KMZ exports (for Google Earth) include both airport codes and coordinates. KMZ is XML, but fairly easy to parse for other purposes as well. Not a replacement for a full backup though...
