I believe what Joe meant was to run a SMART test and see if the drive is okay or not. You can run this test in parallel with other tasks, so you could keep the backup running while the drive tests itself for errors.
As it happens, no. I was only concerned with finding out if the drive were currently readable because if it were, his system should have been able to mount it. However, I like your idea, and it can't hurt to find out just how good the drive is or isn't.
