Hi rm,
We're hesitant to implement this sort of feature, as our focus is born-electronic journals, for which we hope OJS will become the primary source of record-keeping. We might add a method to store editorial-process documents offline, but as disk space is relatively cheap, it's not a huge priority.
Regards,
