Thanks for the info, I've already subscribed to the thread.

I never thought of accepting donation, maybe it's the beginning.
I've put it on the first post. :)

ok, so ive been using this for a week or two and its beautiful.

every 12 hours, if my phone and computer are on the same network, my SMSes are automatically backed up, de-duplicated, sorted into files by the contact, and committed incrementally to a private git repository.

on the restore end, i run a quick script and i get messages received in the last 30 days {or the last 5 messages per contact if there are no new ones} in a neat little file for importing.

this is everything ive ever wanted, ever, for SMS backup and restore. thanks a ton.

Hi, I've just developed a small command-line utility to backup and restore SMS on N9.

It can be downloaded here.

If you're interested in building from source, a little bit instruction here.

it saves it in the directory you ran it. chances are good that that was /, /home/user, or /root.
