Make the network share readonly. This way it can be backed up and accessed but not modified. Of course, the better solution is to not give anyone access to the share except for the backup process account.
This is very much a network security/permissions issue and really has nothing to do with svn or TortoiseSVN.

I am searching for a way other than not keeping them on a shared
network location. Others wanted to keep them on a shared network
location because it gets backed up etc.
No properties or anything to block file access?
