Here are the htop system resources results when the system is idle. No backup task running. Mind you this Pi now is also running Pi-hole and still not a blip of CPU resources used. The system is basically at 0% CPU as the only thing really using up resources is htop itself at 3.2% of one of the 4 cores.

Since backups are incremental after the initial seed, you can actually make use of the Raspberry Pi for other things. That is why I decided to install Pi-hole on it after having fully tested Syncrify on a clean Raspberry Pi OS. Looks like there is still more that could be done with this Pi. But I do want to be careful to not slow down the Internet experience now that this is also a Pi-hole, so not sure about putting Pi-hole and Plex on the same system. I think remote VPN server might be a good use though.

Important Tip: If you have decided to run the Raspberry PI OS graphical user interface I recommend that you do not keep the browser open. When the browser is open depending on what you left open and how many tabs are open will use up considerable resources. So close that browser when you are done.

This was supposed to be in the Raspberry Pi thread. Session expired and then when browser reloaded it caused this to be posted in a new unrelated thread.

Please delete. I'll repost into the correct thread.
