Backup Messenger secret conversations? - General Questions and Answers

Does anyone know how to backup a secret conversation on Messenger? I want to delete data on the app as it's taking up too much room, but doing that deletes secret conversations (learned from experience). Is there any way, either through an app or otherwise to backup those conversations, or a way to copy and paste the contents of it?

Unusual Request

I was wondering if any developers might have a PIM backup file handy they use for testing to show off their apps... Basically just with some made up contacts and generic SMS stored in it. Would really be helpful because I would like to show a screenshot of my SMS Chat skin without having to censor all the contacts and messages. Anyone?

Backing up SMS Messages - Append

I'm interested in backing up my SMS text messages...I have thousands and after a while it get's sluggish, and I have some very important messages that I need to hold on to.
I have MyBackup Pro which works nice, but you can only restore one backup...as far as I konw...and it removes all SMS messages before it restores. So I have like 10 backups all from different dates and I can only restore one set.
Is there a program that backs up SMS/MMS messages as good as MyBackup Pro to the Local SD card, but will allow you to either append new message backups to a backup already created or will let you combine and restore multiple backups? Thanks.

Oh my bad...I just saw Apps and figured it went here...Mods, feel free to move please.
Does HTC Sync have options other than just syncing the contacts with outlook? What files would contain the SMS/MMS texts? How would this work to append messages say if I deleted all the messages after a backup and then wanted to add additional messages in a backup and then restore all??? Thanks.

No one goes to the Q/A board , I think app questions/suggestions are fine here. As for the OP's question, I'm using SMS backup+, it backups sms and mms to your gmail account as well as your contacts and call logs should you require it.

BackupPro does a great job as well. I even set it up to automatically backup everything at 2am.

Thanks, I've used this before....is there a way to access your SMS messages via gmail or the internet? I kinda leaned away from it because it took forever to backup...rather restore 10,000 SMS messages via online. Also, there's some information in my SMS messages that are sensative.
I've used MyBackupPro but it over-writes messages when you do a restore.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I hope I can find something that works well.

I second SMS Backup+ it saves you ur gmail and can restore.
I use this then use outlook to move texts to a new folder so when i do a restore it only restores a few messages. it is kinda slow but it works. backed up my wifes evo that had 42,000+ texts and mms. took a long time but worked.

SMS Backup App which restores only SMS wich are not already on the phone

Hey guys.
Caused by Samsungs GREAT settings to delete SMS in conversations > 200 SMS i have lost 2500 SMS on my GalaxyNote after the first sms restore.
I have a backup of all SMS before the GalaxyNote and would make a backup of today (maybe with another tool which can handle sms which are on my phone twice)
I want to join them together to get all my sms back together.
How can i do this?
First of all: I am currently using this SMS Backup tool:Click
Is there any SMS Backup Tool wich only restores SMS which are NOT on the device? I dont want to have some of my SMS twice on my device.
My Idea was to delete all sms, then i restore the BackupFile from before the GalaxyNote with my SMS Tool right now and then i restore the current backup.
I hope you understand my Situation.
PS: Mixing up both XML BackupFiles is insane because i have 3500+ SMS and they are all numbered consecutively in both files.
Go SMS Pro, has build in backup & restore
and when you restore, it will only restore the missing SMS
on a side note i also use SMS Backup + (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync)
but it will restore everything, causing duplicates
but that's not why i use it, i like that one because it can log calls / times, and SMS to google account and calendar, so it creates a good log of daily use, and tracking, is great for business when you are trying to remember customers calls and when it was done
My Backup is a good app for this

You wont like this, but two considerations:
- The setting remained unchanged, its Google/Android in general, not Samsung
- Its caused by you, by not paying attention, by not being prepared, not by Samsung nor Google.
This post is in no way intended to offend, I just cant stand this spitting around BS because one is enraged bc he fukkered up and blames everyone and everybody except himself. I mean this in a general, not a personal way. But it does touch you slightly, though

Any app out there to backup notification messages?

In my phone, messages like offers/reminders from various organizations are clubbed together as "Notifications" under the "Messaging" app. All other messages (SMS/text) sent by actual people are directly under "Messaging" app.
All SMS/text message backup apps that I have tried, do not consider/detect the "Notification" messages as SMS/text. So these messages are never backup up.
Is there any app that does so?
Ok. Titanuim backup seems to recognize them as MMS.
It is backed up by Titanium in the binary files mmssms.db and mmssms.db-journal
How do I back them up in Gmail as individual messages under a folder?

Does (Google) Messages really delete SMSs ?

I use the app SMS Backup And Restore to backup & restore SMSs.
However when I do a restore I find that even SMSs that I had deleted before making the backup are restored.
I contacted the developer (who by the way replied very promptly) and was told that perhaps the app I use to view/delete SMSs did not really delete the SMSs but was maybe just putting a deleted marker/flag on the SMSs.
I use (Google) Messages to view/delete SMSs.
Can someone shed some light on this. I don't think I'm the only one having this problem.
Is there a way to permanently delete SMSs?
Edit : I have a Moto X Style with Android N
