UPSs

[David Bandel]

Folks,

Not sure if any of you have had this happy experience.  Power in 3rd
world countries (or at least Panama) is atrocious.

Last nite at 0330 local, power went out (not an unusual occurrance
here).  When it came back on at 0430, I lost 2 UPSs (blown up), two
more had to be manually reset, lost a SCSI hard drive (wouldn't
respond to start command), and more.

Apart from buying a large motor and generator and isolating from the
Electric disaster company down here via a steel shaft, anyone have
experience combatting this nonsense?  All my main sites were down this
a.m.  Lots of driving, reseting of gear, inventorying destroyed
equipment, etc.

As you can see, our mail server survived, but not by much.

Suggestions (apart from starting my own power company too)?

TIA,

David A. Bandel
