It's 900w for ~5 minutes, less power draw = longer life. It's not possible to answer your specific question without knowing the draw. I have two power strips plugged in to mine, I'm running my old full tower desktop (i7-3770k w/ 1 tb ssd, 2x 4 TB hdd, 1 8tb hdd, 1070ti), small chinese mini box running an old celeron and an nvme for pfsense (firewall/internet gateway uses 8w), a cable modem, an asus ap, a synology nas (ds920+ w/ 2x 12 tb), 24" asus screen, 32" samsung 2k, an old RCA shelf stereo system wired into the desktop.
Turning off my desktop during an outage increases the time to ~25 minutes which is more than enough time for the ds920 to do a proper shutdown if needed - most outages last only seconds but they've been up to ~7+ hours. There is an alarm on the UPS, I turned it off, and an LCD that shows how much power is left etc.
There is (windows) software, but I don't use it, not sure if it can trigger a shutdown or not.
Answer:
It is in between. Though not pure sine wave, it has many little steps, vs Modified (modified square wave) which is simply 0 + 0 - 0 + 0 - 0 +... (3 status levels) A very good explanation and comparison graphs are shown at: https://linustechtips.c
I noticed some of the 1-star video reviews posted on Amazon's APC product page show the product running on carpet and throwing an overheating alarm. You may want to avoid sucking carpet lint into your UPS regardless of model.

How long (approximately) would it be able to run a home server/NAS with ~7 HDDs and no dGPU for?
Is it capable to send a shutdown signal to the OS when power is lost?

Sounds like a home server alone should get at least 15-20 minutes, which should be enough for a graceful shutdown.
I would be using it with TrueNAS. If anyone used it with this UPS, I would appreciate the input.

So useful on these UPS devices for powering small things like smart hubs.
