"Calling GO SAVE 21" (or the underlying program) won't work because this
option is designed to be run interactively.
It fails if submitted to batch as it can't output any screens.
There is some re-engineering required to make this viable.

We schedule BRMS system saves using AJS.
I see no reason why you couldn't use the base job scheduler and call the
GO SAVE 21.
Something else we do is we have another job scheduled, SYSRESTRIC, just
prior to the scheduled system save.
The jobs basically ends all subsystems, results in the system being in a
restricted state.
When system save starts, it immediately starts the save, subsystems
already end.
I've seen in the past that the system save gets hung up trying to end
jobs, subsystems, etc.

We did this too. Later we created a jobscde to check that the backup job
was running (in case she forget or if she had the day off).

I second this. I wrote a version of this called WEEKLY, where the
operator could type that command at the console on Friday afternoon,
and the program would sit and wait until the shift change on Sunday
afternoon.

The shop was a warehouse that supplies food to restaurants and
delicatessens, and Sunday afternoon was the only window for downtime.
The work week for the warehouse guys started at 7 PM on Sunday.
