I forgot to mention that a pc supply is not a solution, because I need
something smaller and built by myself. Something with regulators, but
with battery back-up...

You can convert an old PC power supply. It has + and - 12V, + and - 5V,
and
+3.5V. Do a google search for ATX power supply pinout. I use an old Dell
power supply as my bench supply. You have to put a 5W 8ohm resister on
one
of the 5V leads and tywrap it to the case on the inside with heat sink
grease so it will stay turned on, they cut off automatically with no
load.
You can even use the POST lead to power an LED letting you know its
turned on.
