Does NAS have a special power backup solution?

So I recently learned that routers have special UPS that gives a power backup of multiple hours. Before that I use to use a PC UPS like from APC and it doesn't even use to give me backup of even 15 min to my router. But after buying something like Artis AR-MINIDC-3 Mini UPS, I now have around 2 hours of backup for router.

Similarly is there a special UPS for a NAS? I use to give power backup to it from that APC PC UPS only, but that doesn't give any backup for even a minute.

Adding more details:
I have Synology DiskStation DS220+

It's power draw is around 15 watts and requires input voltage of 100 V to 240 V as per this documentation: *global.download.synology.com/download/Document/Hardware/DataSheet/DiskStation/20-year/DS220+/enu/Synology_DS220_Plus_Data_Sheet_enu.pdf

I was using this UPS: APC Back-UPS BX600C-IN 600VA (*www.amazon.in/dp/B016XVRKZM) which gives output voltage of 230 Volts. So it seems compatible with the NAS. Do I need a new UPS maybe?

When did you bought APC?
Being doing so for a decade now. I use APC UPS to power by Desktop PC. And now repurposing it for other task like backing NAS and routers. However for router I bought a specialized UPS that caters to lower watt device. But looking for a good backup solution for delicate machines like NAS.
