[twitter-dev] Re: Subscribe to user and download tweets?
Maybe I am looking at the wrong thing but I don't find anything in the API for retrieving someone's updates.

Your application would need to sign into your account (Basic Auth is probably fine if it's just for your own use), and retrieve your friends' updates. This is already in the API.

Tweetake.com will back up your own tweets, followers, etc but only the last 1000, that is in Twitters API rules.
