I am looking for a GTD app for my iPhone, and I'm seriously considering OmniFocus for iPhone. I'm not looking for a desktop app (and I don't have a Mac so I couldn't use desktop OmniFocus if I was).

Since I don't plan to use a desktop app, I don't need "syncing" per se, but I do want to be able to back up my database so that I can make offsite copies, burn them to disk, etc. The database backup should be in a human-readable (or at least documented) format so that if I ever want to migrate my database to a different app in future, I can.

I understand that iTunes syncing will back up my database, but in an opaque file hidden on my PC. The WebDAV syncing sounds interesting (I have a BlueHost account and I think they support WebDAV). Will setting up a WebDAV server to sync to OmniFocus for iPhone result in my database appearing in some decipherable format on my server, without needing a copy of desktop OmniFocus?

Thanks,

Naty
