If I recall, the database rebuilding just deletes PSN messages and organizational things (like if you group your XMB items by Album). Game data, saves and other files should be a-ok.

Christopher Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Inbox is about all it dumps. Done it before, you'll be fine. Great timing on this topic. This is reassuring, I was also worried, but did not have time to put in every game to check the saves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wut You make it sound like you need to play each game you have to check if you still have the saves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have a save on your PS3 and still have it be corrupted. Borderlands was really good at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senshu573 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 ^ Oh, ok. I thought it was simply to check if he still had the saves in the saves folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navvy7 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Strange one that Rocky, is this after the most recent firmware update? It seems strange it went into the rebuild db task without you requesting it, unless you didn't shut down correctly at some point. As others have said though it clears your messages only and to my mind is similar to a defrag hard drive task on your pc so will put programs and shizzle together for speed of loading and access.

Kirbz Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 this happened to me a couple of times. nothing to worry about though, its just fixing some errors and making your ps3 a bit faster. you should do that manually once every month or two. all it does is delete all messages, rename all songs to their original names (lets say you had track 1, track 2, and then you renamed them to "song a" "song b", after rebuilding database it goes back to track 1) and i think thats all. it also makes your trophy syncing faster.
