Plesk-Backup is missing the firewall rules

[LarsenD]

We just had to restore from backup and noticed that upon restore the firewall rules were missing. Apparently, Plesk-Backup (11.0.9) doesn´t save these or at least doesn´t restore it.

Please fix this bug.

It was implemented by design: http://download1.parallels.com/Ples...nistration-guide/index.htm?fileName=66758.htm

Use the following:
iptables-save > my_rules.txt
iptables-restore < my_rules.txt

What would be the advantage of this?
Why add more work to make sure to have a working/complete backup?

99% of users will expect to have the firewall rules when they use the Plesk backup utility!
