Hi,
Could I use guix shell homebank
to not install homebank, because I don´t need it on a daily basis,
but I want to save the data, which I put into homebank?

Yes.The data is stored wherever homebank stored it – which most probably is somewhere in your home directory.

Much simplified you can image "guix shell" as a wrapper setting some environment variables to "homebank" ist loaded from /gnu/store, and all of its dependencies too. This wrapper does not change the path of your home directory neither will it inhibit writing anywhere. "guix shell" does not set up a container neither does it provide any kind of storage.

(Side-note: "guix shell -C" starts an container. Anyhow this container does not provide provide any storage beside granting access to your normal disk.)
