Windows gives me an error message that the selected drive has been "marked as potentially damaged - check disk before use as back up.

I am trying to set up a window to the top-

-follow the instructions of top to select a backup disk - I did
-Windows gives me an error message that the selected drive has been "marked as potentially damaged - check disk before use as back up.
-in the past, this disc has been used ONLY as a backup disk
-When you try to check (after Windows links) a message tells me the drive cannot be checked while it works - I have no problem with understanding that.
-I wonder so I wish "disassemble this first volume" - "... all handles opened to this volume will become invalid..."
-Do not understand what was required - and having no idea of the consequences (the disc 'way up', and what happens to the invalidated handles?) I replied "Cancel".
-l' screen after you ask then if I want to check for errors at the next startup of my computer - I clicked on the button "schedule disk check.
-When I started my computer nothing happened - what happened to "schedule disk check? How can I check the disc when firstly, it seems to be 'in service', but is only a backup to disk, and I thought that it only came into use when the reverse began to run?
(I also tried to leave a message on one of the FAQ pages on back ups, but it appears that the number of characters is set to limit so low that you can't describe why the FAQ response is considered to be "not useful"
 
 
Original title: Back Up system - disk and check

Since this is a secondary drive chkdsk/r can be run without having to reboot.   Close all the programs that can access training and and when you run chkdsk say yes to "remove this volume first...". ».  This will cause no harm.  Although not strictly necessary, I recommend you to reboot once completed the disk check.   This will solve any problem related to the file handles.
If chkdsk/r reports bad sectors, you should replace the disk.
