I'm looking into getting a UPS for the Mac Server I have.
All it does is File Share. The setup is a G5 Dual 1.8 w/10.5 Leopard Server. The sharepoint files are sitting on a Drobo attached by Firewire 800.
What is a good UPS (not break the bank) that will shutdown the Mac Server properly when there is a power outage. I don't really need long runtime, just enough time for the UPS software to do it's thing and shutdown the server and drobo properly.
Thanks
I have no personal experience with this: Cyberpower 550VA $50 (US)
First review says they are using it on their iMac without any issues and they didn't need to install any software.
HERE is a link to a Mac forum that references a few different UPS's that work with Mac's and which versions.
Hope this helps and good luck.
From that link, it looks like a lot will work without without any software. Personally I would recommend an APC 550 or 650.
