You should only plug the pc & monitor in the battery-backup outlets. Some ups have only backup outlets. Mine does. I plug the other things in a regular surge suppressor hooked up to a separate wall outlet.

The Bulldog software does everything a UPS needs to do. Automated shutdown, cancelling a shutdown, scheduling tests, etc.
The Bulldog is binary and takes up about 4MB ram. Belkin has cheaper and less powerful UPS's, but their software is Java-based = memory hogger.
You don't have to buy the same thing. 500W or less is ok for safe shutdown. Stick to APC (best) & Belkin (good).
