SMS backup

Anonymous

I would like to save my SMS on Onedrive in order to have them back on my Lumia 950 DS after a factory reset.

Today, I turned on "Sync messages between devices".

I entered my Onedrive account on the computer to view my messages, but could not find them there. How can I access my messages? How do I know if the backup was successful?

Hope someone can help.

Thanks a lot in advance!

    Turning on 'sync messages' is not retroactive. It should be turned on all the time.  Past SMS events will not be synced to Onedrive

    You can't access sms backup on onedrive.

    The only other thing you can do is backup messages to your PC. Don't think the app allows sync from PC to phone. The app is for Windows 10 PC.
