SMS Backup & Restore Pro APK play.google.com.SMSBackupRestorePro
This is a Paid No-Ads version of the Ad-Supported Free App.

Note: On newer phones with inbuilt storage the default backup location will probably be the internal storage card and not the external. This is because the phone reports the storage that way. If you intend to do a factory reset on the phone, please make sure you save/email a copy of the backup outside the phone before doing the reset.

Automatic Scheduled Backups.
View Backup Contents.
Backups created in XML Format on the SD Card.
Option to backup selected conversations only.
MMS not supported yet.

NOTE:

There is a known problem with some firmware versions of the Droid X and Droid 2 phones that the restored messages do not get the correct time stamps.

This App needs the following permissions to work:

Storage - modify/delete SD card contents (android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE): To create the xml file on the SD card.
Your messages - edit SMS or MMS, read SMS or MMS (android.permission.READ_SMS, android.permission.WRITE_SMS): Needed to read SMS during backups and write them during restore.
Your personal information - read contact data (android.permission.READ_CONTACTS): To display and store the contact names in the backup file.
System tools - prevent phone from sleeping (android.permission.WAKE_LOCK): To prevent the phone from going to sleep/suspended state while a backup or restore operation is in progress.
Hardware controls - control vibrator (android.permission.VIBRATE): To vibrate the phone when the backup or restore operation is completed.

What's in this version: (Updated : Nov 4, 2013)

Doesn't initiate a change back to Hangouts, only prompts to do so. Deleting messages works on KitKat.
If you have performed the Restore and the messages don't appear in Hangouts then:
Open Hangouts and Disable SMS from Settings.
Exit the Hangouts app
Open Hangouts and Enable SMS from Settings.If the messages still don't appear then you'll need to clear the Cache for Hangouts app from System Settings -> Apps.
Android 4.4 (KitKat) support.
NOTE: I don't have a KitKat device yet to test this thoroughly, please contact me if you face any issues.

Required Android O/S : 1.5+
