As soon as you tap the Backup button you will receive options as shown below, Here you need to specify the storage where you want to store your backed up XML file. This XML file will be used to restore the call logs a later time when you want. By default is internal storage but you can change it depending on your choice. I prefer External Storage Card because whenever you wipe your phone to factory data, your internal storage is wiped as well, so having it on External Storage will keep it saved as long as you don’t format it manually.
