Truthfully, you should get bigger (or more drives) and back up the NAS.
Otherwise you will lose your data at some point - just a matter of time. RAID isn't enough to keep it safe.

No. I'm just saying that if you don't make backups of your data, you will eventually lose it - perhaps a device failure, nearby lightning strike, disaster, or theft. You can make them with USB drives, a cloud backup service like Crashplan, another NAS, ...
It doesn't matter what the primary device is, the only way to protect your data is to have independent copies of it.
Netgear (IMO) clearly released 6.4 too soon. But protecting your data is ultimately your job, not their's. And if you had a backup, you'd have more options now.
