Part 2. How to Transfer Motorola Text Messages to PC with SMS Backup & Restore Apps?

It is a pretty simple app that backs up, transfers, and restores text messages or SMS messages as well as call logs from your android Motorola smartphone. It is easy to use as all you have to do is install the app and use it. But as it backs up locally, it is not safe. Only backing up to your Motorola smartphone is unsafe as the app is unable to protect your text messages if you lose or reset your phone. So, it is best when you will transfer the backed-up text messages manually to a cloud or computer. You can also set up a regularly scheduled backup to ensure your text messages stay backed up even if you forget to do it manually.

To use the app, just install and open the app in your Motorola Smartphone > SET UP A BACKUP > Choose What Would you like to back up and press Next. Your text messages will be backed up pretty quickly.
