Hi the_erk!

I think Sprite Backup may be able to do the job, here:-

provided you know where the sms are stored :roll:
Try Sprite backup..
you can backup EVERYTHING, and restore selectively.
this includes mail, sms, settings, contacts, as well call list and such..
hope that helps..
RE
Hi AntiProxy,
Can you do selective backup instead of everything using Sprite Backup?
Thanks
You could also use Jeyo mobile companion or outlook add-in, available here:

These allow you to manipulate and send SMS messages on your device, including copying them to your PC.

yup, you can choose to backup any of the following separately:
file system, Personal databases, mail, System Data
under File System, you may choose to backup individual paths
under Personal databases, you may choose any of the following individual DBs: Phone (Speed dials, Call logs), Categories, Contacts, Tasks, Appointments
under System data, you may choose any of the following:
Other Databases, File System, Registry.
so in short, yeah, you can backup anything and everything
i personally have it autorun at midnight taking a full backup onto the SD card, with 2 last backups retension..
i know it'll come in handy one day
with the generated backup files being self-contained executables, you can recover from a hard reset without a host computer
Try Jeyo
one of the BEST SMS utitlities for SMSing that I have used so far is the Jeyo Mobile Extender.
It allows you to backup all of your SMSes into the Outlook folders on your PC.
You can even send SMSes from the PC if your PDA is sync-ed.
It doesn't have the option of sending your smses back to the PDA though.
Check it out at www.jeyo.com
It didn't seem to work with my XDA, but worked just fine with the IIs.

Couldn't agree more its great I love it best little download yet
just to tell you, you can't backup subfolders of your sms
ie if you created any subfolders in the sms tree, jeyo doesn't back them up.
does anyne know how to back up incoming sms for XDA IIs?
Just re-read above post, it's already been explained....use sprite back up..mas

SMS backup & restore on the Market. It saves your SMS on the microSD card and it's free!
Try MyPhoneExplorer. Install the PC software in windows and the android app by the same name from the market. Let's you completely manage your phone from your computer.
Basically, as the title states I'm looking for options for backing up my SMS and MMS messages.
'My Backup Pro' does a fine job but it doesn't save the time stamps. Once you restore they all show up as new messages basically.
I'm looking for a way to backup, or even better, automatically backup or sync my messages.
(Too bad Google doesn't have a messages sync option like it does with contacts and calendar)
Thoughts?
I havent found a way to backup both SMS and MMS together.
SMS Backup & Restore backs up SMS with the TS and you can restore the backup.
I use Handcent to back up MMS.
Does My Backup Pro backup both SMS and MMS? I should try that out later tonight

Yep, you have the option to backup both. You can also backup apps and data, or either or. I really like the app otherwise.
I use an app called backup to gmail. saves all my sms, mms, call logs
real time
you can save the mms and sms seperately onto your sd card. But as for backing them up the only reason the backup is if your trasfering to another phone or flashing roms. If your trasfering to another phone go to a cellphone store and they can back up messages on a maching called cellebrite and trasfers the complete state of the phone to the other. As for just flashing roms i believe titanium backup will back it up, or you can make a nandroid and dig deep in the nandroid and pull up the messages.
Doesn't titanium backup save those?
I've done several backups/restores here of the call log and sms. Time stamps appear to be preserved. I do believe TB requires root access though.
Hi,
I am using S3-i9300 (intl Edtn) with Moborobo backup. However, currently everytime i am trying to restore the Sms from previous backup, it goes to 40-45% and then quits saying "Failed". The no of sms are 5600+.
Is there an alternative way to extract the sms from the XML file/ other way to sync from the xml file of moborobo.
Thanks in Advance.
Suggest Moborobo forum or faqs

Hi,
I've gone from Insertcoin ROM to Cyanhenmod 12 5.1.
I've got backups of my old SMS using the stock HTC One M8 messaging app.
How do I restore my backups in CyanogenMod as it only wants to see .zip files but I don't know where they are stored for me to restore these.
Thanks.
I don't know if you have your answer already, but for the sake of researchers...
The stock HTC Messages app creates .hbk files when it backs up it's SMS. Keep in mind MMS does not backup. I have lost my Group Messages because they apparently come in as MMS. (I'm sure this is changeable within settings, but I don't want to change it).
To restore your messages, you'll need to either somehow get the Stock HTC Messages app in CyanogenMod and restore it from there, or... flash a Sense ROM and restore it from there.
The backups are saved in a folder named "sms_backup". This folder is generally located in the root of the internal storage. If you use a file explorer, or plug your phone into your computer, you generally start in the root folder already. (Check your external as well if you don't see the folder). If you don't see the folder, it's safe to create it on your own, and place your backup files there. I suggest placing them in the internal storage, and not the external (for the sake of making sure it works the first time[not saying it won't work, it's just easy to troubleshoot issues if people follow the same steps {malfunctioning SD card could cause an issue with restoring}])
Remember, MMS is NOT backed up using the Stock HTC Messages app for backing up SMS. This means your group messages may not back up. I am now going to start using a 3rd party app to back up my SMS, as so I can backup SMS and MMS.
I have no recommendations on 3rd Party back up SMS applications.

Download nandroid manager from the play store. It will read your backups and can restore SMS, MMS, call logs, Wi-Fi, apps, user dictionary, and some other things I don't use. It's been invaluable to me over the years.
