I don't know what thread he is talking about either, but softice has no way to log the back-trace file.
You can save a log of everything that gets dumped to the commandline --and you can dump any window there-- but there is no real 'log' of what addresses you have been to unless you consciously dump them to the command line.
Also, back-trace mode is often misunderstood. Just in case you have not read up on it, it is not a true backtrace. What you do is give soft-ice a BPX to star recording from; then, later, you can 'play back' from that recording starting at any location in it. You never actually step backwards through the code, nor is the backtrace buffer saved anywhere.
I should point out that you can use the BPLOG expression [look it up in the manual, not the CR] to log breakpoints to the history buffer -- this prevents them from breaking and eliminates any back-trace possibility, so it is of dubious use.
