It seems to me that it should be possible to have a simple, torch-battery operated, system which will keep the machine alive long enough to make a graceful exit. A full-blown UPS would be excessive, I think, as I only want the machine to re-boot when the current comes back on.
I believe a personal UPS would be quite cheap. Much cheaper than losing data. The UPS can tell the OS to shutdown on power loss.
