IMHO cancel and abort have different meanings. Cancel means to stop something 
from starting to happen. Abort means stop something after it has started to 
happen.

If the dialog is asking for confirmation before starting the save then it 
should be "Cancel". If the dialog stops an ongoing save then it should be 
"Abort".
