    Same question for Bruce and Jason:

    What are the responsibilities of the backup person?
    Our on-call person has to be able to respond to a 'phone message within 30
    minutes and logon to our system within another 30 minutes. If the backup
    has similar responsibilities it's almost as onerous a duty as being on-call
    in the first place.
    (For me, it's not the calls I don't like, it's being unable to go away for
    the weekend, or go somewhere out of 'phone contact.)

    We have a backup assigned who takes over when the other gets run over.
