Yes it is enough. That joules thing is nothing to do with the backup, it's a different thing altogether. If you are interested : Energy absorption/dissipation - This rating, given in joules, tells you how much energy the surge protector can absorb before it fails. A higher number indicates greater protection. So it is better to look for a protector that is at least rated at 200 to 400 joules, and you got that 200 joules.

Am I clear to you. Buy it without a worry.
