Hi DjStitch,
 
You can always save the cache into a file in the local disk and retrieve it at a later time by using SaveCacheState and RestoreCacheState.
You can find additional information in our http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/DisconnectedApplications#HSavingtheCacheContentstoaLocalDiskFile - DevForce Resource Center .

Since the resource center doesn't (yet) show recent changes to this API I thought I'd chime in that all of the EntityCacheState-related methods allow you to override the default of binary formatted save/read and instead use plain text.  The ECS is in xml, so calling SaveCacheState with the option to save as text will do the trick. 

Uploading into a different app, whether a DevForce application or not, might present challenges, especially if using DevForce or the raw DataContractSerializer - because of problems with "known" types.
