you can run as many slaves on the same machine as you want by
using a different port for all instances and stop/backup/start
one of them per script - doing this since years

it makes no sense "maintain a duplicate of the database"for backups
becasue mysqld have to be stooped for effective rsync-backups which
are much faster as dumps and here are we again at the point using
a slave on a different port
