You can do that by changin NTFS permissions on the folder. If you righ-click the folder -properties-security-advan
You best solution would be to implement Active Directory Users and Groups. You can then set specific permissions for Groups of people to allow some to be able to create, edit etc, some to just save work, whilst still allowing Administrators full rights to move things. With this you could be able to prevent User A opening User B's documents if required.
Also I think you need to ensure you have a working disaster recovery schedule running on that server. It sounds like if it fell over you would lose 10 years work. I have been involved with companies where they lost years of data even though they were backing up as they were using propietry backup software which we had to locate at any cost as the only copy they had was on the server (Don't you love these Manufacturers who send all their software on the drive and no accompanying CDs!!!)

You can also enable Auditing of Files [success and failure] to track user usage.
You can either enable it through a GPO for all files servers or on just the one containing your data by using the Local Security Policy on that Server.
Start -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy
Expand Local Policies -> Select Audit Policy
In the right hand pane - Select Audit Object Access [enable success and failure]
Goto a command prompt -> type secedit /refreshpolicy machine_policy
Also you need to increase your System Security log as there is going to a considerably increase in the size.
You might consider changing the way the log is handled when maximum log files size is reached.
Thses are the options:
Overwrite as needed
Overwrite events older than x Days
Do not overwrite events (clear log manually)
Once that is done,
go to the share/file/folder that needed to tracked..
Goto Properties, and Auditing Tab, specify actions and Users/groups that need to be audited.
