Backup & Restore - Problems/Query

[bilbo]

Hi guys ,

New to this forum and not sure really where anything is supposed to go / whether this is is in the correct place , so apologies if it isn't ¡¡

I have an Xperia X10 , and have hd it nearly 2 years , LOVE IT ¡¡ Best phone I have ever owned ... :smileygrin:

HOWEVER , I have a slight issue / problem with the Backup & Restore feature on the handset . When I upgraded to Android 2.3.3 , the software was lost as it was not supported with the newer Android OS . However , I found some research online and download OI File Manager and managed to reinstall the software .

Now , this isn't my issue . The issue I have is that I have SEVERAL back-ups now , saved in Backup & Restore , as there were SMS messages I didn't want to lose etcetera , so in my stupidness , I saved some of them as one complete conversation , backed up to my phone . The problem I have now is that I want tor restore some of this SMS messages back to my phone , all in one place , delete all the back-ups and have one back-up scheduled each week , for example . What drew me to wanting to do this in the first place , is the fact that I accidentally deleted an important SMS conversation , but , the message is saved as an individual back-up on my phone - therefore if I install said message , it will delete all the others and restore the phone to that message date .

I guess my question is , is there any way of combining all of the SMS back-up's , or moving the conversations from the back up , to my phone and get all the messages I want , and doing a new back-up , without having everything seperate / having to restore my X10 each time ¿¿ While I appreciate I still , actually , have the message on my phone , it's a nause having to do a restore to that date just to view it , when it would be ideal to move it to the phone without doing a restore .

Any help from you Technical Guys would be appreciated ¡¡

Hi, don't really have the answer for you ....

You may want to check out MyPhoneExplorer, http://www.fjsoft.at/en/downloads.php. Have a look at sms backup and resore apps in Google Play too, one that let you backup to GMail account or PC. Hopefully one of those apps has the edit/selection function.

Definitely it will be a tedious process, but I guess it is worth the effort if any one of them works.

Good luck and Keep us updated ....

Hi gwhispererz ...

Many thanks for the reply . Do you know of any good SMS Backup & Restore Apps for the Xperia ¿¿ I downloaded one , but all it did was what the Xperia Backup and Restore process does - backs up your current SMS messages and overwrites when you select which back-up you want to restore to the handset ... Not what I want to do . I want to re-instate ALL the messages I have backed up ( which are separated , unfortunately , into seperate back-ups ) back onto my X10 .

I will take a look at the link that you sent me . Many thanks for spending the time to reply
