Ever wanted to make a backup copy of your text messages? Have tried several apps to do this, and the one that works best for me on Android is SMS Backup by Christoph Studer. You set it up to either automatically or manually backup your test messages to a folder/label in your Gmail account. I set mine up to backup to a Gmail folder called SMS, and to mark the Gmail messages as “read” as they are stored into Gmail.

It’s free from the Android market, can be downloaded here.
