At some level in the code IOException and SqlException are part of the
domain model. They should just not be allowed to bubble up.

There's a school of thought stating that checked exceptions are okay
for domain-level concepts, but not low-level stuff.
So SaveFailedException would be allowed, but IOException, SqlException
and their derivatives wouldn't.
OTOH, It probably makes more sense to just return a status flag (or
some other way of indicating completion/failure) in methods of this
nature, I usually find that control flow reads more naturally that way.

Checked exceptions are a useful language feature and should be
used liberally in cases where you know all possible use cases for
your code in advance and require handling of the exceptions by the
caller because it makes sense for them to always handle it. For
code which you want to reuse for generic use cases they usually
become an anti-pattern.
