Not sure what the GUI tool does (I'd assume it clears iptables if you
tell it to disable the firewall...) but 'service iptables save' writes
a file named iptables in /etc/sysconfig that you should be able to
back up somewhere. However, a normal 'service iptables stop' which
will happen in a shutdown/reboot, etc. will also overwrite that file.
