Although we use flexforms to *display* the data, we store the data in 
the database (lot's of hooks are used to do this). The database is the 
only place for the data used for the frontend and the classes. So, if 
you don't need the backend module, you could just store the data in the 
database. In this case, if you go in the backend, the flexforms will be 
emtpy, and if you safe, your data is erased.

Ricardo has written some api methods to build the flexform data out of 
the database, but I hav't had the time to check it. I could send you the 
data, unchecked.

Regards
