On anything critical, we get a low-yield UPS (usually one of those ones
about the size of two outlet strips) and plug it into a generator
powered outlet.
 
The UPS handles the power while the generator starts up, so it only need
to run for about 5 minutes at the most.
 
But remember, if none of the nodes have UPS or generator power, then the
switch doesn't need backup power either...

Off topic question related to power on key devices like access points
and switches. Just curious as to what solutions you are all using
regarding this. Do you just hang a backup battery off the units and this
does the job for your needs? Or do some of you have a more robust
solution for keeping your key network devices up and running...power
wise?
