Hi there Andrea, here you can find further information about the backup scripts of the Koha package release (koha-dump and koha-run-backups): http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Commands_provided_by_the_Debian_packages They might be useful for your needs.

1. is it possible to save the koha database in a specific directory, like in home directory in a second hard drive?
Yes, you can configure mysql however you like.
2. for making regular backups is it better to have only one partition in an hard drive (system + data) and create an image file of the hard disk and save it in other storage devices instead of having an hard disk for system and another for data? (i noticed that config files are in different places in system partition)
If you use the packages, then backups are made for you daily, they are put in /var/spool/koha. We also snapshot the drives themselves regularly to allow for a quick restore should we need it.
