PS: With the backup server approach, I might not even attempt to hide it--just 
say you were concerned about the Windows system, you put this in (at no cost 
(if true)), for backup.  If it turns out to have been needed, you're golden, 
if not, you just take it out--in either case you've done something (at no 
cost) in the best interests of your employer.
