Hi Paul,
You're maybe on to something with respect to size...

The interesting thing is that both apps were used to back up the SMS/MMS
but one app backed up ten times as many SMS "bits" as did the other app:
o SMS Backup & Restore SMS log = 384MB
o Super Backup SMS log = 335KB

That same app backed up only twice as many bits of the call log:
o SMS Backup & Restore call log = 64KB
o Super Backup call log = 23KB

If they're both supposedly of the same SMS/MMS texts, there's a ten-fold
size difference, which implies the pictures might be the difference.

Maybe there's a reference link to the MMS pictures; or maybe one is just
more efficient at their storage format than the other; or, maybe one is
backing up more stuff than is the other... or ... 

This is kind of why I wanted a good solid XML Editor/Viewer on Windows.
