The files from /etc/shorewall are *not* saved. Rather, the compiled
firewall script (/var/lib/shorewall/firewall) is copied to
/var/lib/shorewall/restore (default name) and the current iptables
contents are saved to /var/lib/shorewall/restore-iptables (again, the
default name).
You can override the default name by typing 'shorewall save <filename>'
or you can change it globally using the RESTOREFILE setting in
shorewall.conf.
A saved configuration may be reactivated using the 'restore' command.
