Best Backup utility for SMS, Call history only

[JerrytheGreat]

Hello,

I've done some digging both through XDA Developers and the Internet in General.

I can't seem to find a decent program (or combination) that may effectively backup up only my sms and call history--the only 2 things I keep losing every time I flash. I went on a blitz last week and tried about 4 apps, but non really worked when I tested. Once again, I only care about sms and call history. I pull everything else back in with activesync.

Have you tried PPCPimBackup? It works great, and you can specify what you want backed up.

It's the only program I use for backing up and restoring my stuff when flashing.

I've been using Dashwire.com. I am not saying that it is better than other PIM backup software. I just like the fact that I can access my info from work and from home. I haven't tried it yet but I am hoping that I am able to restore info from one phone to another.

It backs up contacts, pictures, videos, calls, history, contacts, messages, sms, speed dials, ringtones, bookmarks, and voicemail. And is user configurable to backup only the items that you want.

It is in beta right now and it looks like it may want to be a social networking site. It let's you update your status to Twitter and Facebook simultaneously. I'm not into that so much. But the backup and restore process was painless.

After upgrading my ROM, it was a simple download and install of the Dashwire cab, log into my account, and it was as if my phone was never wiped clean. So far that's the program that I am using. I also backed up using SPBbackup and activesync to Outlook. But those were just to cover my bases.

p.s. did I mention free?

Boomstick's right on the money. Using Dashwire you can currently transfer from phone to phone your contacts, web favorites, and speed dials (with plans to include much more). All of your photos, videos, calls, and text messages remain backed up and available in your secure web-based account. If you switch phones, all of your content continues to sync and is backed-up (as long as Dashwire is installed). We make it really easy to search through all of your content too.

i use PPCPIMBackup just for my sms and call history, and have gone thru several DCD rom updates with my call and sms history intact.

You should tell us which crappy ones you already tried.

And sorry, I don't even remember all the apps I tried--I blew up my PC last week, and had to restore the HD to 3 months ago, so I don't have it.
