Mine is nowhere near that reliable either, 503 seconds of that time  
was on battery according to apcaccess, a total of 86 transfers. Not  
that every one of those transfers represents a glitch that would have  
taken down the system, some may just have been low voltage or a  
slight glitch, but I'd never run a system with over 1tb of video  
stored without a good UPS.

That works out to almost a problem every other day, not real good  
IMHO. At one point I seemed to have a transfer just about every day  
at close to 0600 for some unknown reason, perhaps a generator  
switching on or off or something like that ?? None of the glitches  
was long enough to cause the system to shut down, which it would do  
after 12-15 minutes.
