    Restore on power loss for UPS

    Still does not help me much unless I cut wires to make barrel jack to convert to usb. Mind sharing better options with links to the products than asking me to search? Unfortunately there's no connectivity from UPS to a PC, so powerchute can't do much with the current UPS.

    Restore on power loss for UPS

    Because those output either 9V or 12V but I need 5V and I don't want to use a buck converter. Thanks but seems too expensive than a bunch of power banks.

I do have cloud backups but I encrypt them with my own keys in the event they get breached...
