Exporing Sms and Mms

[PaulCleo]

Hi, All.
Im a newbee here and not really sure if im posting in the right spot.
I have a oneplus 6 running UT.
Im looking to do a reset and am wondering if there is a way to save or export my sms/ mms, so that i can import them afterwards.
If there was a way to do the same with the call log that would be appreciated also.

I can't see any easy option on either of my devices either in the messaging app or settings app to do this, but searching on here for 'sms import' throws up a couple of threads that point to ~/.local/share/history-service/ as a location for sms and calls data storage.
