this may not be the best approach, but if you take what is literally happening during a save, be it to a database, hard drive, usb, solid state, whatever, it's ultimately just binary data being written to a particular address in 'memory'.
and since this is a particularly complex abstraction, perhaps a symbol portraying writing would make sense. the vertically oriented background rectangle can serve as a document, server, or tablet, and inside are lines indicating progress of the write (save) action, with a writing tool placed below and positioned at the next line.
