Like others have suggested, a cheap UPS is the way to go. The problem
with your idea is that you'll need a DC to AC inverter that can handle
the output current required by your server and something to hold the
batteries (you'll need more than one because attempting to draw a huge
current from a normal battery will either kill it or at the very least
cause it to have a shorter than expected capacity) and everything
together, it's probably going to cost more in both money and time to
have this thing.
