    I'm planning to flash my n900.
    How I can backup my sms/conversations? Maybe it is in some database? But where it is located on filesystem?

    Or is there some non-nerd way to do it?

    the Backup app should back-up and restore them (sorry I am not sure exactly which of the four options does it).
    My notes are here (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=35027) if they help.

    I guess you could try writing a Python script to extract them to a file (not sure how nerdy that is

    I realized that flashing firmware doesn't delete conversations, so it was enough for me at this point.
    I hope that one day in future I can dumb all messages to one file and rcp it out.

    copy the database file to safety?

    /home/user/.rtcom-eventlogger/el.db

    Just use the backup application from the N900, enter a name (for example backup 27.05.2010) and tick everything.

    Then connect your phone by USB mass storage on your PC and navigate to the backup folder. You should see a folder named "backup 27.05.2010" as your backup name and there are some *.zip files into it.
    The comm_and_cal.zip file contains this line /home/user/.rtcom-eventlogger/el.db quoted by ossipena

    You can copy the entire folder to your pc to be safe.
