You only need a UPS that can keep a machine running for about a few minutes.
First start the portable generator, then unplug the UPS from the wall and plug 
it into the portable generator.
Then when in the car/van/truck/... plug it over from the portable generator 
into a 12V / 24V -> 120/240V DC/AC converter and drive to a location where you 
have the tools to hack into a running machine.

Best configure the machine to auto-power-down when it looses connection to a 
fixed device in your home, like the smart meter, bluetooth headset,... or 
anything else that has a built-in wireless capability.
