You would access the ZODB directly (under *nix with "bin/zopectl debug";
for Windows, there are equivalent solutions (search the mailing list
archives)).

You would activate there a function that recursively traverses
your Plone instance (maybe using "OFS.FindSupport.ZopeFind"),
detects objects valuable for you (probably "CMFFile" objects) and 
store their content ("str(obj.data)") into the file system.
