Where is the resync button in RAIDiator 4.1.15 [1.00a043]
Got the following tonight:
A SATA reset has been performed on one or more of your disks that may have affected the RAID parity integrity. It is recommended that you perform a RAID volume resync from the RAID Settings tab ( accessible in the Volumes page => Volume tab in FrontView ). The resync process will run in the background, and you can continue to use the ReadyNAS in the meantime.
Cannot find the resync button.

Well, I left the scheduling live on the NV+ after the disk 3 problem. So, Wednesday evening the 7th at 7pm, the NAS powered up, and automagically started to do the resynv. It then continued and ran my 4 backups, and was scheduled to power down at 4:15am. Due to the resync running, it powered down after it finished, at 8:38am, Backups ran correctly last night the 8th/9th. FrontView shows:

And the message that got sent telling me where the resync command is located is bogus and should be updated in the next release.

Sounds like disk 3 may be bad from looking at that. There would likely be some additional information in the logs e.g. the ones showing SMART stats of your disks that confirms this.
Your volume has little data on it. You should make sure you have an up to date backup and then replace the failed disk.
You can hook the failed disk up to your PC and test it using SeaTools if you want to.
