#Michael Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 When I finally get my Lumia 920 will there be a way to backup and transfer some basic info from my iPhone such as sms messages? There are some important ones that I'd rather not lose. Also does WP have an automatic backup system like iCloud? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashel Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 There is no way to backup (or at least import) SMS messages that I'm aware of. Its a cloud aware OS so everything should be in the cloud to begin with. Pictures/Video are the only items you'll want to sync/backup up generally, and that can be done over Wi-Fi while its charging.

n_K Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I vaguely remember someone mentioning iOS messages are stored in a sqlite database so if the device is jailbroken you might be able to copy the database over and (decrypt?) read it.

Oh, my friend, come quickly to Skydrive :) Actually, there's even a Skydrive iOS app you could move a bunch of stuff 'to the cloud' before you even get the Lumia. Though, if you want to backup texts... I'd have to do some googling lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can backup pics and everything else separately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glassed Silver Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 iBackupBot Available for Windows and Mac. You basically extract parts of the iTunes backup of your iPhone. Afaik you can export the SMS database to something more open like HTML. Glassed Silver:mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
