We've installed backup generators at home.  The power goes out plenty, but it is the week long outages that raise havoc with our properties.  

My late Father-in-Law traveled the world supporting large scale UPS installations.  Always fascinated me, as literally millions were spent to "keep the lights on."

Back to the domestic situation, I am using small battery-UPS units to bridge the brief power interruptions when the system switches to backup generator and back.  On their own I don't think I have enough battery to bridge a day, so it is more about protection from switching than another later of UPS protection.

.... If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting?
