an ups should not be considered as a means to keep a system up and
running until power is restored. that is not a battery system, unless
you have an auto start gas powered generator to kick in and supply mains.

it should be thought of as a means to allow a proper shutdown if
power is not restored within a short period.

an ups that will supply just 5 or 10 minutes of up time is better
than none.

the name ups, uninterrupted power supply. not un-interruptible
power supply, as in continuous.

a good ups, runs from a floated battery. that is, it is powered by
battery and ac mains supply a low level charging.

this way, when mains are lost, you are already on battery power, so
there is no 'glitch' of sine wave.

once mains are lost, a signal notifies system and a proper shutdown
can be started.

yes. jb's points are much to be considered.

here again, 'rpm -V|--verify *' should be run.

much luck on your recovery.
