Answers:
Aquarium ups systems, try doing a search for them.
A I don't believe they do, however you can purchase a surge protector with a backup battery. It doesn't look like it will be easy to come across a battery operated heater for your tank, but you could try a small generator!
http://www.aquariumadvice.com/archive/o_. Because the heaters pull so much power, there really aren't battery back-ups available. You could purchase an uninterupptable power supply, such as those they use to back-up computers, but to find one that would provide power for this length of time could be quite costly.
Just be certain that you have an aerator that will work without a power supply (most pet-supply stores carry both battery-operated models and natural "air stones"). Water is fairly resistant to changes in temperature, especially for larger tanks.
Not knowing the details of your tank or the investment you have in it, the best solution may be to periodically add small amounts of water that you've heated over a fire or on a gas stove, etc. Heaters would simply put too much of a drain on standard batteries. I've heard of people using mylar blankets (or fleece would work as well) to insulate their tanks. Keep them wrapped until the power comes on (do not feed them - they'll be fine up to a week without food, and excess food/poop without the help of a filter will quickly muck up your water).
