I've been doing a "File History" backup to a USB drive connected to an ASUS RT-AC68U. Lately the drive has been disconnecting about once a week.

I ran a scan on the drive using the router's "Health Scanning" utility. It came back with an "errors detected" message telling me to use a computer based repair utility.

How do I go about running a scan and repair on a drive connected like this?

As a last resort I know I could just plug the drive into my computer and work on it that way, but would like to do it remotely if possible.

Thanks!
