If you have a UPS *and* a BBU controller, then things are much better--those should have a write cache that insulates you from the worst of the problems. But just a UPS alone doesn't help you very much:
A UPS is just a controlled shutdown device for when things are working and mains power goes off.
Note the "when things are working" qualifier. :)
