An uninterrupted power supply (UPS) provides emergency power when the input power source fails, allowing for the safe shutdown of computers and connected equipment, preventing data loss and hardware damage. Surge protectors, while useful against power spikes, do not provide power if the electricity goes out. Cloud storage is a solution for off-site data backup but doesn't provide power. Generators may provide power but are not usually a quick-enough solution compared to a UPS for immediate protection against data loss.
