Of course the history is stored on the server side. Gov contracts. How do you think these sites actually make money?
Also, if you don't backup then when you are locked out for failing to update or whatever nonsense reason (requiring more ID, etc.) then you can't access your data anymore, unless you can extract it somehow. Which I did. But Joe Average, who doesn't know how to extract, he will lose access to his data.
As for Skype I did indeed lose all my history when they did a forced upgrade on me.
And, it's gone.
Oh and they took $5 too.
