I have used the dsl restore=sda1 command and it works fine. But do I have to go to system > backup/restore and save changes every time I make a change or does dsl do it automatically?

Thanks

I believe the "save changes" is just for the backup location. If your backup/restore process works fine after the first reboot or two, it should continue to work. The backup is created each time you shut down, so any changes you make to files that are listed in .filetool.lst will be kept.

I find having an icon on the desktop with a command of:

sudo /usr/sbin/filetool.lua - to open the x based backup/restore app

or you could try

sudo /usr/sbin/filetool.sh backup - to just do the backup call direct

makes it as easy to backup as and when needed rather than navigating the menu or relying on the shutdown call.
