How do I backup all the text messages from my phone to my computer?

[AC Question]

Many of my text conversations are valuable to me, and I would be very sad to lose them them day I spill coffee all over my phone. I would like to back them up onto my Acer computer. When I link the two devices with a USB, I can transfer pictures and video, but not messages. How do I do this?

Thank you!

Welcome to Android Central! You can't back up the messages that simply. Try an app like SMS Backup +, which will backup to your Gmail account.
