I also suggested USB recovery, which is something you do yourself.
FWIW I don't work for Netgear. But if I were facing data loss, I'd contact them even if there was a cost.

Can I make UBS recovery with only one bay ? My original setting is RAID 1 and i'd like to protect data on the 2nd Bay ?

Yes you can (though the NAS will mark the volume as degraded as soon as you remove the disk). Once it's booted, you can add back the second drive. The system will need to reformat it to add it to the array.
If you download a linux "live" boot disk, you can also boot up a PC under linux, connect a NAS disk to the PC and extract the data that way. Then the data is safe, so you can even do a factory reset.

OK, I remove the disk then replace it (i have no solution to save data with my laptop PC (windows 10).. perhaps you can help me ?). My hands were shaking and within boot menu i selected OS reinstall. The firmware is now 6.7.5 and the Nas rebuild as you mentioned the 2nd drive...
My data seems to be safe ...
