Anand, In the Amaya OS owners manual it states that in most cases it will recover from a power outage, in my manual it was on page 2-17. I bought the UPS system because I get brownouts in my area and the UPS will keep a consistent power to the machine, the runtime if the power goes out is just a bonus.
