Is it possible to backup Pidgin chat logs and then restore it on another machine?

Additionally, are there any services which will upload this to a server and store it online (similar to Gchat)?

Pidgin is planning to implement remote logging in a feature release of libpurple, though as far as I know there's no definite roadmap.

If you want to backup your Pidgin logfiles, just copy the logfiles from your ~/.purple/logs/ directory to whereever you want to back them up. You could possibly put them into a revision control system like SVN, too.
