If you run two Plex instances on similar hosts, an extra tag is helpful in filenames:

# Optional extra tag for backup filenames
Backup_Tag=

Then, when you compute Backup_Name, fold it in if set:

if [[ -n ${Backup_Tag:-} ]]; then
    Backup_Name="${Nas}_${Backup_Tag}_${Now}_Plex_${Version}_Backup"
else
    Backup_Name="${Nas}_${Now}_Plex_${Version}_Backup"
fi
