I need to backup an SMS conversation

[mclld]

I really need to save an SMS conversation from a family member who passed away and don't ever want to lose it. I installed SMS Backup and Restore and added my gdrive account but on that screen it said with each new backup, any backups older than 30 days are deleted. I desperately do not want to lose this conversation, how should I back it up?

Can’t you screenshot the whole conversation?

I thought a screenshot would just do one screen, this is a thread that goes back to last year

What kind of phone? Doesn’t Samsung have a feature that lets you screen shot an entire scrolled section, or am I mis-remembering it?

This one looks to backup to Gmail. Where I'm sure it'll stay unless you delete it. Maybe give it a shot? I've heard good things but have never tried it.

I have it backed up to an xml file in my gdrive so I can just download this to any phone in the future?
