Another option could be to place this machine on a dedicated UPS of its own with a larger battery to ensure that it stays up even after your site UPS fails.

If it's a small enough server, you can get 24 hours out of a $1500 1KVA UPS. http://www.apcc.com/tools/ups_selector/index.cfm -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
