    That backup thing started by UPS action would be enough for solving
the reboot question. But what about the crash ones ???? If your system
crash, there will be no backup at all and data would be lost.

    Today flash based disks are accessible, in terms of costs, so i
think they are a great solution which would require no 'workaround'
stuffs, like the backup to disk one.
