Abstract
Files on a computer are selectively backed up to an external storage medium included in an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) that includes a UPS circuit that powers the external storage medium. A modification of a file resident at the computer is detected, and a decision is made as to whether to store the modified file on the external storage medium based on a program association of the file. For example, the modified file may be stored on the external storage medium if the modified file is a data file associated with a user application program, and storage of the modified file on the external storage medium may be foregone if the modified file is a data file associated with an operating system of the computer. The program association may be defined in a number of different ways, for example, responsive to a file attribute of the file, responsive to a content of the file and/or responsive to a user input.
