That's not exactly true. If you have a Mac using the same Apple ID, iMessages will appear on both devices. If you also have Text Message Forwarding enabled on the iPhone, SMS messages will appear on the Mac. This is not a "back up", though, it's syncing. If you have iCloud Syncing enabled, messages are not part of the iPhone back up. And, when iCloud Syncing is enabled, deleing a message from one device will delete it from all of them.

thanks anyways for taking the time.

And I provided an answer for that:

Try using an application such as PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac or Windows). Both will allow you to save your text messages as a text or pdf file for easy archiving and printing.
