<title>Saved Configurations</title>
<para>Shorewall allows you to <firstterm>save</firstterm> the
currently-running configuration in a form that allows it to be restored
quickly. When you save the configuration using the <command>shorewall
save</command> command, the running configuration is saved in a file in
the <filename class="directory">/var/lib/shorewall</filename> directory.
The default name of that file is
<filename>/var/lib/shorewall/restore</filename> but you can specify a
different name as part of the command. For example, the command
<command>shorewall save standard</command> will save the running
currently-running configuration in a form that permits it to be
re-installed quickly. When you save the configuration using the
<command>shorewall save</command> command, the running configuration is
saved in a file in the <filename
class="directory">/var/lib/shorewall</filename> directory. The default
name of that file is <filename>/var/lib/shorewall/restore</filename> but
you can specify a different name as part of the command. For example, the
command <command>shorewall save standard</command> will save the running
configuration in <filename>/var/lib/shorewall/standard</filename>. A saved
configuration is re-installed using the <command>shorewall
restore</command> command. Again, that command normally will restore the
configuration saved in <filename>/var/lib/shorewall/restore</filename> but
as with the <command>save</command> command, you can specify a different
file name in the command. For example, shorewall restore standard will
re-install the configuration saved in
file name in the command. For example, <command>shorewall restore
standard</command> will re-install the configuration saved in
<filename>/var/lib/shorewall/standard</filename>. By permitting you to
save different configurations under different names, Shorewall provides a
means for quickly switching between these different saved
configurations.</para>
<para>As mentioned above, the default configuration is called 'restore'
but like most things in Shorewall, that can be changed. The default name
is specified using the <emphasis role="bold">RESTOREFILE</emphasis> option
in <filename>/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</filename>.</para>
but like most things in Shorewall, that default can be changed. The
default name is specified using the <emphasis
role="bold">RESTOREFILE</emphasis> option in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</filename>.</para>
