You might be interested in the following guix-daemon options:
--gc-keep-derivations[=yes/no]
tell whether the GC must keep derivations
corresponding to live outputs
--gc-keep-outputs[=yes/no] tell whether the GC must keep outputs of
live derivations
Perhaps by setting them to "yes", you can avoid collecting store items
that you'd rather keep around. I think these default to "no".
