After creating the backup in Linux_Plex_Backup.sh, you can cheaply validate the archive:

echo "Verifying backup archive..." |& tee -a "${Log_File}"
if tar -tzf "${Backup_Directory}/${Backup_Name}.tgz" >/dev/null 2>>"${Tmp_Err_Log_File}"; then
    echo "Backup archive verified" |& tee -a "${Log_File}"
else
    echo "ERROR: Backup archive appears to be corrupted" |& tee -a "${Log_File}" "${Tmp_Err_Log_File}"
fi
