My master backend has an uptime of around 280 days and I know the UPS
has saved it at least 10 times as my other mythbox is not on the UPS
and I have had to turn the power back on at least 10 times in the last
year... I doubt it will hit the year mark as I know I will have to
blow the dust out of the heatsinks before summer as the AC does not
work well in the room that I have it in.
