The rebuild should not touch your folder structure. Also, a backup will be made automatically when you do the rebuild. It will be called "Old Database", I believe, and it will be in your Microsoft User Data (MUD) folder where all your identities and databases are stored. When you're sure the rebuilt database is working correctly, you can trash it. You'll find the MUD in your Documents folder.
