I've seen the discussions a few times about the null and skip ASM choices and 
how null is
usually what you want to use.  I think null is the one I want to use in my 
safety net
client/group directive.  However, a question (that I'm admitting I want to be 
lazy and not
actually test unless I have to):

With skip, I assume that if the safety net group (the one with ALL as the save 
set list and the
directive) runs second, that the index is munged and you don't see the files 
that were backed
up earlier.  Conversely, if I understand this correctly, with null, if the 
safety net group
runs first, does the production group see the files in the index and think it 
doesn't need to
back them up?  If that is correct, how does one assure that a group with a skip 
directive runs
first and the one with a null directive runs second?  Or, have I completely 
misunderstood what
I read in the uasm manual page about null and skip?

Thanks,
