Yea, a generator would probably be your best bet if your wanting to use your computer etc once the power goes down, most UPS (Uninterruptible power supply) devices don't provide enough battery life to power your computer that long, they are mainly just used to prevent power spikes, power drops etc, and also allow your computer to shut down safely if the power does go. Some server UPS devices probbaly last longer, in order to try and keep the servers running whilst the power's out for as long as possible, but those will cost thousands of dollars. If you are only wanting to power a computer when the power goes down, you can probably get a generator that will do that for a few hundred dollars I would guess.
