Default Backup Text Messages?

Can anyone tell me how to backup my text messages so that I don't lose them when I root?

I am not even seeing a way to copy and paste them into a document or anything. Any Android vets know how I can go about saving them to the SD card, or emailing them somehow, or somehow sync them to the cloud, or even copy them to my computer?

Yeah, lol. I backed up and then did unrevoked and also lost nothing. Oh well, I'm ready for the time when it will get wiped at least.
