Backing up your text messages
Keep important text messages by backing them up so you can restore them to the HTC Messages
app, if needed. The Messages app backs up either to the phone storage or to your storage card if you
have one inserted.
Text messages in the secure box and blocked messages will not be backed up. To include such
messages to your backup, move them first to the general message box.
