Tool, Options, Maintenanace, Store Folder... that will tell you where your messagges are kept, either change it to another drive, where all your messages will then be moved, or copy the whole directory.
You could also use File, Export, Messages, but everytime I've ever tried that, I've had trouble importing them back.
