You might be thinking that a pickle is just a cucumber that's been soaked in brine, but the more generic meaning of pickle is to preserve something. In the aviation world, for example, they talk of pickling an engine as a way to put it in long-term storage. The analogy of putting data into long-term storage is perfectly reasonable.
