It would be a good idea to have the procedure names differ from each other, don't want to accidentally called Save() when you wanted just mob.Save()

The way I would do it would be to loop through the clients and save their mobs; tiny bit more efficient (and less typing) but probably the difference is insignificant 
proc/Save_All()
   for(var/client/C)
        if(C.mob) C.mob.Save()


To make an auto-global save, spawn an infinite loop function (with a sleep delay!) which will save all mobs: 
world/New()
  ..()
  SpAwN(time)
      Autosave()

proc/Autosave()
   for()  //  infinite loop, or you can do while(1)... meh
      sleep(X)
      Save_All_Mobs
