you could use my script to do this, its exactly what i use it for.

0) make a backup with the built-in backup tool
1) save my script as n9-sms-tool.pl on the phone
2) perl n9-sms-tool.pl backup
3) perl n9-sms-tool.pl split
4) modify n9-sms-tool.pl '30 days ago' to '60 days ago'
5) perl n9-sms-tool.pl join
6) delete all conversations #careful! make sure the filtered.sms file looks good first
7) smsbackuprestore import filtered.sms
