I have 20 years of family photos on this thing and a little hesitant to removing the HDD's while doing a factory reset. Is this even possible without corrupting the RAID?
You can't do a factory reset with the disks removed, because a factory reset formats the drives and then does a fresh factory install onto the disks.
If you don't have a backup of the files, you chould definitly take care of that. RAID isn't enough to keep data safe, you need multiple copies on different devices to do that.

Any other ideas to try first?
Do you know if hotfix 1 was installed? You can see this in the logs by entering:
# journalctl --no-pager -r | grep hotfix
Maybe also check on the status of apache2:
# systemctl status apache2
and maybe:
# journalctl --no-pager -r | grep apache

Somehow it is working today and was able to pull this off. I really want to find the root issue before it happens again.

NAS still running slow. I'm trying to backup everything to USB drive but system is too unresponsive. Any other suggestions to tshooting issue? I still think it's the last update that caused it but what do I know? Not like Netgear would ever investigate this.
