APC has an apcupsd RPM for their UPSes.  Its readily available.
Otherwise, there is the generic nut RPM that can be configured for a
number of other UPSes without much difficulty.  The 2 hours of runtime
is where you are going to have trouble.  You're going to need a massive
UPS to provide that kind of power to a desktop system.  However, my
laptop battery has that kind of power on a laptop system.  My
motherboard in my desktop system is configurable to return to the
previous state it was in upon power restoration, so I don't think its a
function of th UPS driver to do that.

YMMV.

With my PC/monitor/cable modem plugged into my APC RS 1000 it claims to
have about 31 minutes of backup time.  You'll obviously need a bigger
model to get to 2 hours of runtime.
