Try application "glogarchive". It should be in Extras. It will allow you to export the SMS&call database into a CSV file -- can be then copied to your PC and processed, e.g., in Excel.

There are actually 3 repositories on Maemo.org from which software/applications can be downloaded.

1. Extras (end user/newbie friendly)
2. Extras-testing (on its way to be to end user/newbie friendly)
3. Extras-devel (BIG FAT NO NO unless you are ready to deal with problems that may arise... Basically not newbie friendly)

However, the software "Glogarchive" is In Extras. So you can go ahead and try it.

BTW If you are running the latest firmware, Extras will be enabled by default. So you'll be able to see it in the list of downloadable applications in the App Manager.

easy way for backup:
use the shipped with backup tool and copy the files after backup to your local machine. I rsync my device every now and then after I ran a backup from contacts and the backup tool

I guess the simplest workflow would be:
1. run glogarchive
2. click "Switch to Live-Database"
3. click "Export to CSV-file", file is saved under /home/User/MyDocs
4. connect the N900 to your PC in USB mode
5. using your PC, you can find the file in the root of the mounted N900 USB drive. The file has csv extension.
6. you can open the file directly in Excel or in OpenOffice (or any other program that can open it) or you can copy the file to your computer.
