Another common situation is
restoring SMS messages; again this is data
that cannot simply be re-entered. Review the App Data section above to
understand how items are selected before continuing.
SMS texts messages are kept in a single database file, however, any
large MMS attachments are stored individually in a separate location.
Open
Photos &
Other Files and navigate to the
HomeDomain/Library/SMS
folder. Select the entire folder and its contents using the popup menu.
The SMS folder icon turns green to indicate that it is selected.
Now, using the Back button, navigate to and select
MediaDomain/Library/SMS.
This folder contains the MMS attachments, if any; if you cannot locate
this
folder, just continue.
If you have sent outgoing messages that included existing images from
your Camera Roll, locate and select the
MediaDomain/Media/DCIM folder
to restore your Camera Roll images as well.
We are now ready to save our custom SMS restore. You can of course
select additional items to restore at the same time.
