I am not 100% sure (as usual), but I don't think you can save games on dedicated systems, only on hosted systems.

Yep that's right.. There's no saving on dedicated servers... Too bad.

There is no saving, but I found some workarounds, since join-in-progress works since ArmA 1.

If you are hosting on a Windows machine, you could hibernate it and restart it if you want to continue.

If you are runinng a linux dedicated hosted somewhere, you can

suspend and continue the server process with

# kill -Stop #pid

# kill -Cont #pid

As default, you find the process id in the 2302.pid file.
