Simple. Navigate to Yahoo! directory and then take a backup of the Profiles.

Like:
X:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\Profiles

Where X is the installation directory.

@Mods: Request moving it to QnA section.

One more thing you should keep in mind that if you are finding other profiles there which don't belong to you can also be backuped but will be of no use for you as they will only open when you are logged on that perticular account.

Also either if you change the name of the folder that contains some chat archieve like say mine id is love_for_khushi i have chatted with some say sanbomb2000 then our chat will be saved in the folder named sanbomb2000 under he folder love_for_khushi. If you change the folder name of sanbomb2000 to santosh even then it will still run in your ID.

To reinstall the backup files copy them in the same folder frm where you copied the i.e. X:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\Profiles\YAHOO_ID\Archive\M essages
