To avoid that situation, you can use a delayed slave, which will be always delayed from the master by a configured amount of time. If a disaster occurs and that statement is not applied by the delayed slave, you can stop the slave and start until the disastrous statement, so that the disastrous statement won't be executed. Then promote it to master.

The procedure is exactly the same as setting up normal replication, except that you specify MASTER_DELAY in the CHANGE MASTER TO command.
