It is funny, because battery backups are one of the few products where the type I get is based on the last one that bit the dust. Cyberpower goes down, then I purchase an APC and vice versa. I do try to keep an extra one around in case one goes down. Also, you always have to think of everything when backing up a key client or computer. I, of course, have the computer protected, but monitors don't draw a lot of power so I put them on the power side of the UPS as well. Always have to think about switches. Depending on your setup making sure the modem doesn't die the moment the power goes out. Unless cable can do PoC.
The one thing that is mandatory. And, one staff member continued to forget this. And, it doesn't matter if it is surge or surger/ups, you should never, ever plug a printer into a UPS.
