the backup-app of the n900 does everything you need.
just launch it, create a new backup and make sure the conversations-box is checked.

you can choose where to save the backup-file and after the fil ebeing created, just copy it from your n900 and it'll be safe.

The el.db file is a SQLite database file. You can open it with an SQLite database viewer or manager.

The simplest cross-platform solution I know of is the SQLite manager add-on for Firefox. It is quite comprehensive, considering that it is a browser add-on. You can download it from here if you have Firefox already installed:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5817/

If this does not suit you, just search the web for "sqlite browser OR manager" and see if you find something useful for your system.

The SMSes are stored in the table "Events". You can search for a string in the SMSes using the search button in the "Browse & Search" view in SQLite Manager. Search in the full_text field and select "contains" from the drop-down menu.

Good luck finding your SMS!

Thank you so much! I found it. You saved my a * s here. :) I apologize for the late response. It was easy to achieve when I knew how to do it. Thanks again!

Hi, I'm not sure if anyone can help but my n900 has decided to lose all my conversations & any new SMS that are received can be read, but then disappear!!
Any idea how to fix this?!?
