Default Good sms backup app

I've been using my backup root but it messes up sometimes with my messeges. It also takes forever. I do have about 10000 sms so does anyone know app that restores the sms quicker right now it takes about 20 minutes just to restore them..

I've been using SMS Backup by AnSoft, it took about 20 seconds to restore approximately 1500 text messages, it also makes a backup of your call history too.
If I have helped you please click Thanks!

have you tried titanium backup? i use it for everything, including SMS messages. once you restore, reboot and bam, it's all there. has never taken me 20 min to restore my whole backup (apps, settings, messages, etc).

I use and include in my ROM SMS Backup+ by Jan Berkel. It backs up SMS messages and call logs to your gmail account at user set intervals. I have mine set to 1 minute after the SMS is received. It nice because you never have to remember to back up your messages. I believe it will restore MMS messages as well. I have titanium backup but I believe this is a much better solution because it is automatic and performs the update soon after the message is received. I don't have to think about going and backing them up everytime one is received like you would with titanium.

[SMS/MMS PREFS] Messages 1.00

I think. they show up after you reboot.
