I tried SMS Backup & Restore today. I restored 5400 SMS. It was really fast. It took about 30 mins. But at the end it said failed to restore 75 SMS. This never happened with My Backup Pro. So I guess this is not a reliable software. 75 may not be a big deal, but there is no other information why it did not restore them.

So I guess, the only reliable way to get all SMS restored is to wait for 1.5 hours. Faster is not always accurate/reliable.

That's wierd, never failed for me. Also 30 minutes is way to long for 5K messages with SMS Backup & Restore.

You said titanium back up takes about 1.5 hours for 9000+ SMS restore. Now that means for 5000+ SMS it would take more than 30 mins. Did I miss anything?

Is there a way I can test SMS back up & restore in the free version of titanium backup before I buy the paid version?
