Need to show backups in a browser

Hi,

Im currently involved in a project where the backup data needs to be accessible by all the 'Admins' on the site.

I have set Cpanel to backup this data daily however my problem comes when i try and set apache to recognise it as a directory.

I have tried adding the following line to httpd.conf

Code: 
Alias /backup/ /backup/cpbackup/daily/acorn/
However when i go there a forbidden page comes up.

I know what this means but im not too sure on how to solve it.

What permissions need to be set on a directory if i want apache to read from it?

Also is it possible to read from the backup location but not to execute any pages e.g index.html e.t.c as it would be better to be able to download the backup and restore it.

Just to see the list of files and directories as if you didnt have an index page there.

Thanks
