Hi Carolyn,
The short answer is yes.
I presume you are talking about an Uninteruptible Power Supply (UPS) back up, in which case it should protect against any likely problems. The type of problem Alec is referring to is caused by an interruption to the data being loaded which could leave your keyboard without a viable operating system rather than actual damage to hardware. The UPS system should protect in both cases.
Alternatively, a simple surge protector is adequate for most purposes but will not protect against loss of data when when power is interupted during a transfer such as updating your operating system or when saving to disk or SD card. Always keep disks and/or SD cards backed up to minimise the risk of losing your precious files.
