Answer: The Event Viewer stores its logs in the following folder:    

%SystemRoot%\System32\Winevt\Logs\

When looking at logs, it is considered good practice to ship all the logs to a different #Server for analysis, the best way is to schedule Log Shipping periodically and back up all the Server logs on a different machine.
