Just a quick note regarding the UPS -- the primary use for a UPS is to provide a very brief additional period of time after the mains power has dropped out, so that any sensitive systems can be powered down graciously.

There may be larger commercial UPS units available that might allow one to run several devices longer than 'a brief time', but that type of situation would almost always be better served by using a generator system instead.
