On the Apple II you normally would use a rom machine language subroutine to 
save portions of memory , simply writing on a disk file the bytes starting 
at locanion 2000 hex (hi res page 1) or 4000 hex (hi res page 2) using an 
applesoft/dos call like :

BSAVE <name of file>,A$2000,L$2000

where A$ is the starting byte location (in hex) and L$ the number of bytes 
to be written.

or you might call the correspondent machine language subroutine from 
assembly.

Don't think you can use the 1541 drive other than connecting it to the apple 
II with some custom hardware card..
