I can not clearly see from the log how you decide if the backup was completely successful.
You could grep if you have any pattern like "fail" or "error" in the log. If yes, then send a mail or whatever.

Example:
Code:
grep -qiE "fail|error|incompl" your.log > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo "Sir, we have encountered a problem with the backup, sir." | mail -s "Backup failed" you@somedom.org
