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.
