backup text messages on Nokia Lumia 900 Windows 7.8 Phone

Hi, I have a 3.5 years old Nokia Lumia device that is about to die because it can barely charge. I want to buy a new one but I have not because I wanted to extrar my text message threads. They include videos and photos of my kids that I have sent over the years to family and friends and some of those videos and photos I lost when my computer hard drive died and I had not backed up for a while. The only place where they still reside are in my very long, 3.5 year old message threads. Plus, some relevant news like when my kid's first tooth came of, or funny things they said or did, I have always texted my family, and since I have no time for albums, the date and exact memory only reside in these text threads. I have tried for ways to extract this with no luck. The phone is the first Nokia Lumia 900 that came out, it has Windows 7.8 installed. If someone can help me out before it dies on me, it would be great! Thanks,

Marlene

Depending on the version of Windows on the phone, there may be an app out there that will do what you want.

If not, you could do a fully functional free trial of Oxygen Forensic and use it to do a full extraction of the phone. Understand that this will not necessarily be a user-friendly process. Mobile forensics routinely requires extensive trial and error to capture the contents of a device.
