Download Cydia app called AppInfo. Not only is it a great app that collects a list of your installed apps, versions and installation info. You can also export a list and send via email, including SMS, Contacts, Notes, etc.

Ssh to the directory: /private/var/mobile/Library/SMS
Copy sms.db to your computer

I would be safe and copy the whole directory and all included files within it.
/private/var/mobile/Library/SMS.

The same can be done for many others (ie):
Contacts: /private/var/mobile/Library/AddressBook
Calendar: /private/var/mobile/Library/Calendar
Notes: /private/var/mobile/Library/Notes

When restoring, be sure owner is set to user:mobile

iTunes will backup everything on the iPhone, including SMS messages and contacts.
In iTunes, with the iPhone selected on the left, click the Info tab and make sure Contact syncing is enabled.
Besides,there is a article about How to transfer SMS from iPhone to computer, which can help you transfer SMS from iPhone.
Hope it worked for you so much.

i think they all save when you do a backup. when my Iphone was exchanged from apple i installed my backup i had all my SMS messages back.
