Good point on the UPS though. The extra I have is a line interactive 1.5Kva sitting in my rack in the basement gathering dust, have to pull up the spec on it. Granted, they're designed more to allow graceful shutdowns and transfers than long term backup.
The whole house generator hasn't left my option list.

UPS is interesting idea, the one you have sounds pretty big, why not just plug the pump in to it and fill the sump with water and see if it works?
