If you want to minimize disruption in the face of power outages you've got a couple of choices:
- protect all servers, workstations and networking equipment (switches, hubs, etc.) with UPSs
- use a database back end that implements transaction logging (SQL Server, Oracle, etc.) which is much more tolerant of these kinds of faults.
A number of years ago I remember hearing about someone who designed a transaction-logging process for VFP which was supposed to give these benefits. Can't remember anything about it, though.
