From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  SAVE
       
          An {assembler} for the {Burroughs 220} by Melvin Conway (see
          {Conway's Law}).  The name "SAVE" didn't stand for anything,
          it was just that you lost fewer card decks and listings
          because they all had SAVE written on them.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  save
       
           To copy {data} to a more
          permanent form of storage.  The term is commonly used for when
          some kind of document editing {application program} writes the
          current document from {RAM} to a {file} on {hard disk} at the
          request of the user.  The implication is that the user might
          later {load} the file back into the editor again to view it,
          print it, or continue editing it.  Saving a document makes it
          safe from the effects of power failure.
       
          The "document" might actually be anything, e.g. a {word
          processor} document, the current state of a game, a piece of
          music, a {web site}, or a memory image of some program being
          executed (though the term "dump" would probably be more common
          here).
       
          Data can be saved to any kind of (writable) storage: hard
          disk, {floppy disk}, {CD-R}; either locally or via a
          {network}.
       
          A program might save its data without any explicit user
          request, e.g. periodically as a precaution ("auto save"), or
          if it forms part of a {pipeline} of processes which pass data
          via intermediate files.  In the latter case the term suggests
          all data is written in a single operation whereas "output"
          might be a continuous flow, in true pipeline fashion.
       
          When copying several files from one storage medium to another,
          the terms "back-up", "dump", or "archive" would be used rather
          than "save".  The term "store" is similar to "save" but
          typically applies to copying a single item of data, e.g. a
          number, from a {processor}'s {register} to {RAM}.
