I think the only reason to have a UPS on a machine is if you actually wanted to run the machine after losing AC power. that case the UPS would be sized to power the entire machine, motors and all.
If you are concerned about file system corruption on power failure, two things can help (1) use a modern Journaled file system. These are VERY crash resistant. Most Linux distributions do use Journaled file system like ext4. ext4 is very robust. and if you are very worried use a write-only file system to hold all the non-volatile files. This method is near "bomb proof" but takes some effort to set up.
