Yes, but it costs money :)
Not that much really if you think how much it will save :)
You don't need a keep-my-box-up-30-days UPS. A 15 minutes UPS will do just
fine and they are very cheap nowdays.
Last time I checked they were in the 40-50 Euro range. However you are
right, it probably can save my day.
Another nice note is that APC and probably others can be connected via
USB, and configured to cleanly halt your system if its batteries run
out. Always better than a hard dump.
This becomes a philosophical question but, shouldn't computers (hw and
sw) be thought to resist hard power outages as much as possible?
If UPS systems are the only feasible way to obtain it, why no one
thought to somehow include them inside desktop systems?
Just to know :)
