## Description

SMS Backup & Restore Pro is a paid, ad-free Android app that backs up and restores SMS, MMS, and call logs. It creates local backups by default and can optionally upload to Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive. Backups are stored in XML and can be encrypted and compressed for security and space savings. WebDAV is supported as a backup location for added flexibility.

Key features include selective backups and restores by conversation, scheduled automatic backups, viewing and searching backups, and fast transfers between two phones over WiFi Direct. You can email a backup file or transfer it between devices; note that restoration requires an existing backup and cannot recover data without one.

## Review summary

Users consistently praise SMS Backup & Restore Pro for reliably migrating SMS/MMS and call history across devices, preserving thread structure, timestamps, media, and RCS chats, with easy setup and cloud-backup options. However, multiple reviews note reliability issues—backup/restore errors and incomplete backups—and RCS backups that don’t consistently transfer attachments. Overall, it’s a strong migration tool when working, but users should be aware of occasional reliability hiccups.

### Pros

- Reliable backups and restores for SMS, MMS, and call history across devices
- Preserves threads, timestamps, and media (including RCS chats) for accurate migration
- Easy setup and effective for phone-to-phone migration
- Cloud backup options (e.g., Google Drive) with also workable offline/local backups
- Selective restore by date or specific conversations for targeted recovery

### Cons

- Backup/restore can fail or produce errors, and some reviews report incomplete backups
- RCS chat backups/transfers are unreliable and sometimes fail to transfer attachments
