Disclaimer: Please note that I'm not a Linux nor a backup expert, and I'm just starting to learn a little bit about Raspberries & Co. So here's the thing: I have a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W which is running PiHole and it's connected to my home router via a single USB cable. It's been working flawlessly for months without a single issue. Is it possible to install a backup server (something like Urbackup, I believe?) on it and make it run alongside PiHole? As I'm looking for a simple way to backup my Windows machine to my NAS or even to a cloud service, I just thought I might use the Pi for this purpose, but I'm not even sure if the Zero 2W has enough horsepower. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It's definitely feasible, though it might take some time. Additionally, you're likely to restrict the network bandwidth for the Pi, which could increase latency to pihole and reduce your internet browsing speed.
