I've connected my Back-UPS ES 725 to my D-Link DNS-320L NAS via its USB port.  My NAS management software sees the UPS, lists the manufacturer, product, battery charge and status.  It's set in a "Standalone" mode.  A "Master" setting is also available to notify other devices via the network of a power failure.  My question is; Will my NAS shutdown in the event of a power failure with only battery power available?  If not is there monitoring software or an "add-on" available to do a controlled shutdown?  I've posted this question to the APC folks as well.  Thanks.

An update to my question.  I heard from the APC folks that it should shut down "gracefully".  I'm also wondering though if there is any detailed documentation for using these drives with the "Master" setting to control other devices and how to set this up.  Thanks.

You could pull the power from the UPS unit and watch the process and see what happens...
