If you want to keep it simple, what you could do is set the default access to read/only on all the shares, create a user (username and password) and grant read/write access to this user.

It doesn't protect you against file deletion, share deletion, multiple disk failure (the limit depends on your level of RAID), cryptolockers, catastrophic failure or destruction of the unit, where an external backup could.
