Cannot back up 8900 Curve but need to store text messages

[p_look78]

I need to store/access my sms messages externally on a PC but cannot back up my berry (used to back it up and then access those via Amber reader) - getting error message before even seeing the databases, not even sure which one is corrupt so i cannot pick which one to back up. My berry also stopped deleting old messages so I have texts from a year ago. Tried to forward sms one by one to my email but got ovewhelmed after 500++ forwards. Is there any other way to back up or a third party soft to access/back up sms? I assume I cannot forward mutiple sms messages at once as an email. Cutting and pasting sms one by one into one email is also unreal task. Would appreciate any suggestions. My IT at work suggested to update firmware so it will prompt to back up but warned me that if that back up fails then I will loose everything on it. I assume BES does not hold my sms at all or at least not that far back.

As to back up error - Desktop manager ->Back up/Restore -> Advanced then getting window "Requesting database list" then progress bar stops somewhere in the middle and getting error window Communication error "the data was not recognized by the device"

just need to get sms messages out of there, emails I already have stored in the outlook so no need there.

got to talk to my sysadmin - blocked appworld on berry, cannot install any new apps

just found out that BlackBerry protect does not work with devices that are on BES. Really no other solutions on the market to back up this stupid device except of desktop manager or sending text messages manually one by one????
