I had the same problem once, this is what was suggested to me by Semme, which worked.

Also, check to see that SAVE is enabled... if disabled, the icon disappears.

To check...
MENU--> System --> Puppy Event Manager

In the first tab Activate Puppy Event manager is checked. If it is checked there shouldd be a save icon, if not the icon should disappear.

The second tab determines how often (in minutes) Puppy will SAVE.
If set to ZERO Puppy will only save at SHUTDOWN, otherwise a save will occur every so often. Also the PUPMODE is listed... (read the explanation: "currently in PUPMODE X") if an even number or 5, no saves, otherwise there are saves.

The Last tab on right determines an automatic SHUTDOWN (in minutes) if the mouse does not move. This will perform a SAVE.
