Backing up SMS off iPhone 1.1.3

I want to restore my iPhone to 1.1.4 so I can have a fresh and clean start but I want to keep my messages. I have looked in various folders and haven't been able to find them anywhere. If someone could help me it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks Matt.

I have been having problems with my phone, where various settings weren't working and it was suggested that I restore and and load as a new phone.
Also wanted to start a fresh with 1.1.4.

I'm using a mac, but its ok, I eventually found it. The file wasn't in the same place as on the other versions because of the mobile folder on 1.1.3. the new path where messages are stored is:

/private/var/mobile/Libary/SMS/sms.db

For anyone interested that is.
I didn't wanna loose my messages. There was some important ones ;]

Thanks guys. Matt
