How to save data object in RStudio?

Question

I use RStudio 1.3.959 To run my experiments, I load data from csv, h5, txt, etc files. That data is saved in the RStudio environment although I did not save them on purpose. But one large data object which I loaded from txt file recently is not saved. So, whenever RStudio faces some issues and quits I have to load that data object again. I tried to save it using save.image() which is supposed to save the entire environment. But I still have all the previously saved data but not that one I need.

What is the best way to save the data in RStudio environment to avoid loading it over and over?
