Putting aside the data storage constraints mentioned by others, you need to experiment.

1) Is the structure bitwise copyable?
2) If so, just write it to disk using CFile and measure the impact.
2a) Use LZ4 to compress the data first (My own guess is that this would make a difference with a hard drive, but may actually take more time with an SSD.)
3) If not, you will need to serialize it; I'd still keep all the data binary.
3a) You could serialize it to a block of memory and then write that in one go (very likely the fastest way)
3b) You could serialize to a file using CStdioFile (depending on the data, this could be very slow. Even slower if you used C++ iostreams.)
3c) Do a combination; Serialize the data in 32k chunks and write them, perhaps asynchronously. (That said, when doing anything comparable, I prefer just having a second thread write synchronously.)

If the data needs to be future proofed, consider serializing using RapidJSON (which is a very fast C++ JSON library), compressing the result with LZ4 and then writing that. However, this could easily take longer than a second, depending on what the data is.

Edit: If the data is fairly regular, you might be able to save the full thing every ten seconds and differences in between. This can be tricky; I once worked on an app which did this and I found that the differencing alone exceeded the time it took to transmit the data over TCP.
