@albonycal I am currently using something like this for backup - Amazon.in
It's a DC UPS and gives several hours of backup too.

Yea but can't power my server with that, maybe in future I will get something like that just for ONT, that way I can shift the location of my server.
Currently its just beside the ONT.
And btw, which mini PC do you have? does it have multiple NICs?
ZimaBoard - World's First Hackable Single Board Server Zimaboard is interesting, 18$ shipping to India though, and that doesn't include custom duties (if any)

@albonycal Yeah, won't work for a full blown server. I got a mini PC from Alibaba, has 4 gigabit Intel NICs. It takes 12V DC input, so I can use this DC UPS. I don't remember the exact name, but then most sellers on Alibaba just put their name on existing designs.
I also have a ZImaboard, got it during their Kickstarter campaign. Decent device, I currently use the Zimaboard to run my HomeAssistant installation and few other containers.

Yeah looks similar to that, mine uses a J3160 CPU. I think at the time it came to 130 USD or so incl shipping to India plus customs of about Rs 1500. So around ~11k ish. I am running OpenWRT as I found it more easy to configure for my needs and the fact that it runs Linux.
There are many similar variants now. The models from Protectli for example are mostly rebrands of devices available on Alibaba.
