All of your changes get saved to a file called backup.tar.gz
Where are you saving that file?
If you are opening the Backup/Restore button in the DSL panel and just clicking the button then the file are going to the default /tmp directory which is just temporary. You need to change that directory to something permanent, like a pendrive, or a FAT or Linux formatted hard drive partition, or something that will store the file.
Also, what version of DSL are you using, because the latest versions prompt you to save when you shut down.

Where are you saving that file?

i can,t find that file do i have to make that first?

I'm sorry, I guess I'm not being clear.
When you click the Backup/Restore button in the dsl panel, it makes a file called backup.tar.gz and saves it to the location in the field above the button. You said you were clicking that button right? The default location only backs up for that session because it is in the /tmp folder on the ramdisk when you are using the live CD. You need to change that location to a permanent place (like a hard drive, or a floppy , or a pendrive, etc.) to save the file that will hold your settings.
