By default, it should be saved already, in your .viminfo file. Check your 'viminfo' setting to make sure if you are worried.

You can also paste the contents of your register into a file with this normal-mode command:

"ap

Then you can save that file if you like. To get your macro back, just yank the content back into a register:

0"ay$

This may not work in all cases for special characters in the register, etc. The .viminfo method is probably more robust.
