Hi!
Thanks for the answers 'till now. What i like to do is creating a typo3 
4 on my localhost and fill it with the files and informations of my 
public Typo3 3.8.0. Then i will look, whether it's working or not. If 
it's working, i could (but i'm not sure if i do) upload the beta version 
to the public server. But i think, that i might wait, 'till the final 
comes out.

Well, i know, what beta stands for, but as soon as there are actually no 
'critical' bugs, it could help to find bugs that were not visible in no 
public situations. And of course i have backups of everything.. (400 MB 
used webspace for the website --> 10 GB of backup data for 7 years)

If something goes wrong, i just have to upload the backups..
