Both. The former is used as path separator in classic Mac OS, the  
latter does the same for recent Mac OS X.


BTW, I save from time to time via the print service web sites or  
rather just pages as PDF. The title of such a page can contain slashes  
or colons. This title is gladly used to build the file name. While the  
colon is not substituted, slashes are turned into underscores... Magic!
