Agreed. Do you want to ever be able to go on a 2 week vacation at some
point in your life? Or even 1 week overseas?
Then you need a 2nd DBA.
It's also much better for the company. If you should ever decide to seek
greener pastures elsewhere there will be someone familiar with all their
systems and databases.

I've been presented with an opportunity to justify requirements for a 2nd
DBA at our site. As I see it there are an number of paths this presents:
1 - Justify and get a 2nd DBA.
Pro's: Gives me more time to get involved in other projects as a senior DBA.
Holidays and attendance at courses and seminars etc. easier to take
2 - Outsource this role and activate it when required and justify putting
money into investing in software and/or hardware to allow a single DBA
function to required levels.
Pros: New tools etc. to learn and broader experience gained. More
bargaining power if required.
I'd like to hear your feedback on which path you'd be inclined to take and
why?. Also if going it alone what you'd look for software in hardware and
other areas. Currently 6 NT servers, 10 databases and expanding...
