Terry ..
IB provides a year of daily data. Primary use is for TWS daily charts, but API users have access too.
It would be a nice feature if we could have both IntraDay and Daily data from IB in one database like AB does for esignal.
For reference, programs such as QuoteTracker and Sierracharts now provide eod charts using IB daily data.
As for the 30 days of intraday .. they actually provide a lot more than that .. many months for some symbols.
Unfortunately.. the throttle/limits IB places on that stream make it pretty much useless.
I have done it with other programs, but it was a long process, and involved restarting TWS several times to get past the limit.
I think AB's 30 day limit is reasonable considering the IB limitations.

Feature request to IB I presume. They only offer 30 day max
backfill (minutes) so a daily download is rather worthless unless IB provided
the history.
Besides, there is Yahoo and MSN. Both free sources albeit occasionally
flaky.

IB is RT only at present. I believe there's a
feature request for daily already logged.
fwiw, IB daily data is not the cleanest .. and they refuse to fix bad quotes.
(i asked them).
Just for fun, pull up a TWS daily chart for IOC
