The easiest way to measure the backlash is with a dial indicator and manual jogging. There are a lot of vids on youtube about it.
To find out if you had lost steps, just program and run in the air a straight line for each axes and the same speed you did the circles (with a higher Z) and try to stop the movement by grabbing the Z axis with your hands and determine how much force is needed for the motors to start skipping. You can even measure it with a hook scale.
