I would like to be able to save my files, that is the data that I am entering on a separate partition on my disk or better on a separate disk, in case of problems. How can I do that ?. I am aware of the fact that the F5 command is saving them but on the same disk or partition as powerhome.

You could use the ph_backup function to copy the database somewhere. There was a recent discussion about this here.

Richer,
You can also directly edit the pwrhome.ini file and change the database location. Data in PowerHome is stored in two different places. All of your devices, macros, triggers, events, links, etc. are stored in the database file, default located in c:\program files\powerhome\database\pwrhome.db. Other settings (mostly what is in the "Setup" section of the PowerHome Explorer) such as the general settings, web server configuration, etc. are stored in the pwrhome.ini file in the PowerHome directory. This file is pretty much stuck in this location but the data in it is easily recreateable.
To change the location of the database file, just open the pwrhome.ini file and at the very top you'll see a section titled [Database]. Beneath it will be a single parameter, DBF. Just change the location in this parameter, save and exit, restart PowerHome and you'll be looking at your new database location (you should have already copied or moved the actual database file to the new location  ).
HTH,
Dave.
