I got that :smileywink:
I think the odds are good that you won't need to re-do anything, since you are already on 6.6.0 (even if it is beta). But there always is some risk that the new install will overwrite something.

Well, it would be better to run the final version (or perhaps even 6.6.1 beta).

Can I trust that the drives will be ok?
I'd check the SMART stats (download the log zip file). You could also schedule the on-line disk tests.

All volumes are without errors.
Smart-history also shows no errors but has not been updated since 2016-08-01.
I have updated the OS and various other stuff (owncloud, ..) to latest levels available for Debian.
Will I have to do that again whein I update the firmware?

Not sure what you mean by updating the OS - depending on what you did, some updates could be overwritten by the install of the firmware. Apps shouldn't be, but you should check the two compatibility lists here: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/31221
In addition, there were some issues with plex.

I have done a new installation of owncloud and iredmail using the packages of their own websites. Also new versions of MySQL, PHP and some other packages.
Some of the installers were complaining about missing packages or old versions of packages that needed to be preinstalled.
So I also did that.
I would like to keep things running but also would like to upgrade the firmware.
The owncloud installation package from Poussin is on the list of incompatible products.
I'm not a linux / unix expert, have to install things like owncloud again is not my hobby;-)
