Sms backup... and restore?

[jtp]

hey there.

I have been a g1 user for about 2 years now.

I just ordered a g2, which will arrive tomorrow.

I am a heavy sms user in my business and I can't really live without my archive of old text messages in my box.

Is there a simple app to backup my texts currently in my box (4000+) and then restore them on my new g2 when it arrives?

if the app also backs up and restores apps and call log, that would be nice too, though less essential to me.

THANK YOU FOR THE HELP!

the first two links look promising

yes, I did google the concept, and looked it up in android market.

however...

all these top rated options save to the sd card in my phone.

since I hav e an aging g1, the phone refuses to acknowledge the existence of the memory sd card.

does anyone know of an sms backup AND restore application that saves to the internet somehow, maybe utilizing google docs to save an XMS spreadsheet there?

you sure?

this one says backs up to gmail: http://www.androlib.com/android.appl...ssync-jjD.aspx

as does this one: http://code.google.com/p/android-sms/

while it's true these do back up sms to gmail....

they don't restore

it looks like it adds it to gmail via an SMS label, which is better than keeping it on your phone because you can search it. and if you have 4000 messages that might be useful
