The way I do it is I create backups locally and then copy them to my NAS over ftp(with a password), instead of samba. Hopefully, that way any ransomeware would not be able to encrypt my nas as well, as it does not have any publicly accessible folders on the network.

The problem is that ransomware doesn't have to activate immediately, so you can end up with multiple copies throughout your backups before it takes effect. Hence, restoring from backups may not solve an infection.
