for your purpose it could be the cheapest server available with just enough hd space
you should be the only one knowing the password to access the server.
install cronjobs that create frequent dumps of the db on this slave and you are on a very safe side.

Ok I see your idea, like a hidden backup server. We already have 9 DB servers using native mysql replication, one of them is the backup server...so we could restrict access to it.
What though, for instance, if my programmer changes some stats in accounts of our affiliate program, right before the payout script would run? The backup server solution won't help me out ;/
