For me it's always
difficult to tackle with SMS Backup and smooth restoration from one device to
another. Then after a long struggle I found it to work with my issues. It's
smooth and easy to use App ever tried.
A simple App to
Backup and Restore SMS Messages. This is a totally free app with zero ads.
NOTE:
App uses various
ways to backup your contact book and by default
it created locally on the phone or you can configure it as per your
choice to upload to Email, Google Drive or Dropbox. You are responsible for
backup files and the files are not sent to the developer in any case.
On Android 4.4+
devices, if you have performed the Restore and the messages don't appear in
Hangouts then:
– Open Hangouts and
Disable SMS from Settings.
– Exit the Hangouts
app
– Open Hangouts and
Enable SMS from Settings.
APP FEATURES:
– Backup SMS
Messages in XML format.
– Backup created
locally on the device with options to automatically upload to Email, Google Drive or DropBox using the Add-On
app.
– Choose a scheduled
time to automatically backup.
– Backup format is
independent of the Android version so the messages can be easily moved from one
phone to another, irrespective of the Android version.
– Option to select
which conversations to backup.
– View/Restore all
Messages or only selected conversations.
– Delete all SMS
Messages on the Phone.
– Email a backup
file.
– The XML can then
be converted to other formats, and can also be viewed on a computer.
– Tested on Android
v1.5 to v4.4.2
On newer phones with
inbuilt storage the default backup location will probably be the internal
storage card and not the external.
This is because the
phone reports the storage that way.
If you intend to do
a factory reset on the phone, please make sure you save/email a copy of the
backup outside the phone before doing it.
This App needs
access to the following:
* Your messages:
Backup and Restore messages. Receive SMS permission needed to properly handle
messages received while the app is the default messaging app on Android 4.4+
devices.
* Storage: To create
the Backup file on the SD card.
* Phone calls –
Without this the Restore fails on some phones.
* Your social
information: To display and store the contact names in the Backup file.
* Run at start-up:
Start scheduled Backups.
* Control Vibration:
To vibrate the phone when an operation is completed.
* Prevent Phone from
Sleeping: To prevent the phone from going to sleep/suspended state while a
Backup or Restore operation is in progress.

Protected Storage: To create the Backup file on the SD card.
