I too am trying to locate such a tool as I want my tweets, friends, followers, @replies, direct messages and lists backed up. Be nice to have an application that remembers what was already backed up. A feature to do full backup or incremental or heck differential. Aziz, did you ever find that desktop software you described?

For backup/archive/history of tweets we need a lifecache service instead of a lifestream. My own solution is a bit like Alex King's Twitter Tools: - Create a wordpress installation - Use the FeedWordpress plugin from Rad Geek. - Import the twitterfeed. Each tweet will become a blogpost. - If desired, automate the import via cron. The result is a database of blogposts with every tweet in it. This is as sustainable as Wordpress is.
