[Q] SMS Backup solution?

What do you guys use to backup your SMSes &/or call logs? I found these two:
SMS Backup - backs up your messages to a Gmail label:

SMS Backup & Restore - backs up your messages to an XML file on the SD card:

Anyone use any of these or recommend something else for backup?

I'm not rooted, I'd prefer to stay stock if possible.

I use SMS backup. It does not give me any problems. All you got to do is enter your gmail account and password once and it does the rest.

Just found this one too, SMS Backup+:

Looks like its been updated more recently than the other one. Anyone use this one?

I use XArchive. Very simple, very easy to use.

If you use the paid version of Handcent, they offer online backup of settings and SMS. I'm not sure about how much they want for it.

I love SMS Backup and Restore. Simple and does exactly what I want.

You can try MyBackup Pro. Don't know what it costs now. I caught it for .99 cent a while back.

I use WaveSecure to back up SMS, contacts and locate my phone if lost

SMS Backup & Restore. It's free and saves your texts into a nice xml file.

A few more questions:
1.) The ones that put texts in Gmail, do they create a thread for each text or put a certain number in a conversation or how does that work? I text a lot, so that might get hairy quick.
2.) The options that automatically backup - is there a service running at all time or does the backup occur at an interval? I'd hate to lose battery by something connecting to Gmail every time I got a text, rather than bulk upload or scheduling.
3.) Finally, if manually backing up, is each backup incremental or is a whole new XML or new Gmail conversation created? Is the software smart enough to know what was backed up previously?
4.) MMS supported?
Thanks for the help folks, and keep the suggestions rolling!

I'm loooking for something similar as well. I've tried several different apps from the marketplace, and a few did their piece well, but didn't do everything I want. I've tried Titanium Backup, and to be honest, I don't really like it. "Backup Everything" does a pretty good job for everything except generic files (SMS, MMS, Phone logs = ok, Files {angry birds data} it can't do), although I'd like to be able to automate it. I've been using Astro to handle backing up of apps because I'd rather back them up seperately from the data.
Contacts, calendar & mail messages don't matter because they're on my Exchange server, so the SMS, MMS phone logs and angry birds data is really all I need to back up. To SD is fine, Dropbox wouldn't hurt though. Does anyone have any suggestions for an app that fits my needs?

PIM backup type application

I have an aria i just bought, and i wanted to backup my contacts and sms similar to using pim backup. I did not want to go the google route, right now i have all these email contacts on my phone and i dont want them.
I do not have a data plan so i just want to keep my sms and contacts on my sd or on my pc but dont want to have anything to do with gmail. Just a simple app.
Is there an option for this on android?

Several.I personally use mybackup root for those things.

Not 100% on this, but if you're on a Sense rom cant you use HTC Sync for that stuff? That would sync your contacts to your computer I believe.

I found a program that did my contacts but not sms, but the program posted worked for me
Thanks
Now using cm7

[Q] Backup & Restore Programs for the Tilt 2

I have been using Microsoft Myphone to backup & restore my contacts, calendar, & text messages on my Tilt 2 & I love it but just found out that it is no longer working & I was wondering what backup & restore programs you all are using & the ones you like best.The most important things that I want to be able to backup & restore are my contacts, calendar, & text messages.I really liked using MyPhone because I was able to go to their website & sign in & could see along w/edit all of my contacts & calendar & also could see & reread the text messages I had saved.I'd really like to find another program that is like MyPhone if at all possible.
I did find something called M:IQ that seems to be similar to MyPhone & what I am looking for.Has anyone tried this program or using it now? If so is it any good & how do you like it? Also is it easy to use?
Any help you all could give me is greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.

I used to use Lookout Mobile Security to back up text messages and call log. You could also use PIM Backup for that. An easier way would be top sync with Gmail via Exchange. It will backup tasks, calendar, contacts, and mail. Task sync was hit and miss for me, though.

try funamobl works perfect. it takes some time to find the right link to download and to figure it out but once you do it is easy.

I use Pandapp PC Suite for WM. It backs up my call log, contact, etc. But doesn't backup programs though. It's almost as if I never flashed my phone each time I did.

I have been using Sprite Back-up 6.5.5 build 11 for awhile now and have no complaints. I have my entire phone backed up on my SD card. Has saved me a few times. Lots of options for back-up with the Sprite. Cannot find anything comparable.

[Q] Which app are you using for Back up SMS and Call logs?

I was using SMSBack+ but looks like, but recently i noticed that it doesnt restore some of my replies or maybe it failed to back them up? Dunno.
So, what do you use / recommend ?

I use both;
1) Hi-Suite v1.4.02.05 (more functional than its former versions)
2) MyPhoneExplorer v1.8.2
to backup contacts, call logs, messages, calendar, notes, alarms, system settings.
And for the applications, Titanium Backup is my favourite, since it can backup application datas as well. (I'm sure that it can backup sms and call logs, but i just don't prefer)

try mybackup
free on market
and i also upload for you

I am also using Myphoneexplorer. I think it is best for offline synchro with PC.
