        Sure the 'Best' UPS line and their software 'CheckUPS' will
do this.  But, depending on how much hardware you have, 45 minutes
may be asking for a lot.....  If you need more info give them a call
at 1-800-356-5794 (Best Power Technology, Inc.)

Note: Not affiliated with Best, but well impressed.
