Default Vacuum pump power source?

Hello,

I was wondering how the primary vacuum is powered in a single engined
aircraft. If it was powered directly by the engine, a engine failure
would result in the immediate loss of attitude indicator and heading
indicator. So I guess most aircraft use an electrical pump that can be
driven by the alternator or battery, is this the case?

Thanks in advance,

Terence
