Free iPhone SMS backup tool from Micromat to debut
Micromat has announced the release of Syphone, a free utility for Mac OS X that allows the user to view, save, and back up their iPhone's SMS messages.
As previously noted, there is an artificial limit (1000) on the number of text messages that can be stored. In other words, though there may be a significant chunk of free memory on the device, the amount of text messages that can be stored is capped. This can result in the message "Your SMS mailbox is almost full. Please delete some messages."
With a utility like Syphone -- or the prior-mentioned MobileSyncBrowser, you can delete the messages from your phone while keeping their archived on your computer. Syphone offers a bit more functionality than MobileSyncBrowser, sporting these features:
- View synced iPhone SMS messages
- Archive SMS messages
- Import/export SMS messages
- View SMS messages offline in an iChat-like interface with selectable colors
- Open Address Book contacts
- View the number of sent and received messages for each contact
- Support multiple iPhones
The new tool will soon be available as a free download from Micromat's Web site.

MobileSyncBrowser 3.1 introduces groundbreaking backup management features
San Juan, Puerto Rico, USA ? September 2009 ? Vaughn S. Cordero of VSC/Macsupport, is pleased to announce that the popular application, MobileSyncBrowser has added backup management in its latest release and is now available for download at mobilesyncbrowser.com
MobileSyncBrowser (MSB) is the simple, intuitive software utility to view, protect and recover your iPhone and iPod Touch data from your Mac or Windows PC.
MobileSyncBrowser 3.1 adds two groundbreaking features to manage and enhance backups and restores.
CoreRestore
CoreRestore allows the user to create special backups with specific files to restore their devices at a later time. This is an invaluable aid when a device is having problems and a Reset/Restore simply causes the issue to reappear. Now users can reset their device and restore only their 'core' personal data without restoring settings files that may cause problems. Users can also save application-specific preferences and even game stats for later use.
RollBack
Rollback allows users to keep older, historical backups for restoration. Because iTunes normally keeps only the most recent backup, users may find the current backup lacks important data that existed in a previous backup. MSB users now have the option to prepare these 'RollBack' copies ahead of time.
MobileSyncBrowser is available for US$10. A Plus license is available as well for USD$20, which enables additional data recovery features.

About MobileSyncBrowser:
