"Snapshot initialization failed" error every time

Please help me! I have paid a lot of money for two units with disks and licenses to run ReadyNas Replicate and I can't get it to work properly!
I get the same error message every time I try to use the ReadyNAS Replicate. I have tried running both Backup Data and Backup System and all the time I get "Snapshot initialization failed" error. Both devices are ReadyNAS NV+ v2 with RAIDiator 5.3.5 and Flex-RAID (Raid5) disk configuration (running 4 x Seagate ST3000DM001-9YN166 in each unit). I am running the latest version (1.1.3) of ReadyNAS Replicate (two purchased licenses). I have disabled encryption and not using compression to speed up the process. I have tried creating new backup jobs, removing the old failed folders and restarting both units several times. I can't see any solution, it feels like I have tried all combinations and it fails every time. Below is the log from the latest attempt to run a Backup System:
