How to Back Up Skype Conversations
As you chat with users on Skype, a history of your conversations is automatically saved to your computer. You can review these past conversations when you are logged into Skype, as long as you are using the same computer and have not deleted the files where they are stored. If you are worried about losing the conversation history, you can back up the files and store them on your computer or another location.
