COMPUTER POWER BACKUP SYSTEM AND DEVICE
First Claim
1. A computer power backup system, comprising a battery backup unit connected to a power management control of a computer system via a baseboard management controller, the power management control constantly monitoring statuses of the computer system, of a power supply unit, and of a battery of the battery backup unit such that, upon detection of power outage of the computer system, the power management control sends out an alert to an enterprise client, thereby requesting the enterprise client to back up data, and if the enterprise client fails to take timely action before backup power in the battery of the battery backup unit is used up, the power management control will send out a command whereby a system motherboard stores data automatically and safely in a storage device through the baseboard management controller and whereby the computer system is shut down safely, the power management control automatically turning on the computer system and beginning to charge the battery of the battery backup unit when power to the computer system is restored.

Abstract
A computer power backup system and device are provided. When power to a computer system is lost, a battery backup unit provides power to the computer system for a while, allowing a power management control to send out an alert to an enterprise client so as to urge immediate action. If the power outage persists without being solved, and the power management control detects insufficient power in a battery of the battery backup unit, the power management control will store data in a storage device automatically and safely and then shut down the computer system. When power is restored, the power management control turns on the computer system automatically and begins charging the battery of the battery backup unit. Through the above operation, the integrity and safety of data in the computer system are secured.
