SMS Backup & Restore
What SMS Backup & Restore is
SMS Backup & Restore is an Android app for saving and recovering SMS, MMS, and call-log data as files. The free plan costs nothing and supports local backups, optional cloud uploads, and scheduled backups, but includes ads. Pro is listed at $7.49 a month and is billed as a one-time purchase; regional storefront prices may differ. It adds backup compression, AES-256 encryption, a WebDAV backup location, and removes ads. The app supports mobile backups, while computer and server backups are not supported. Backup and restoration are file-based. Android is the listed platform, and the maker is SMS Backup & Restore, headquartered in Blacktown, New South Wales, Australia. The product therefore centers on keeping phone message and call records in backup files, with a free option for basic storage and a paid option for added protection and WebDAV support.
