Well, that's your first problem - not knowing how todo it :)
I was simply expressing surprise that no-one had done it.
I have already done it. Years ago. In fact, my home server can run 2 hours on batteries, and my ADSL modem + 24port GB switch can run about 14hours on batteries.
I've been completely convinced that a UPS is what I need,
and am trying to source the APC UPS-BE350G, which was recommended.
In your case the UPS is the easiest route to follow
