Make sure directories are xrwr-x--x (751) and group is backup. Now inside=20
this directory they can read anything but can't write/delete files.
Make sure you have the root directory (which they can access) also set to=20
these permissions, default is 755, so independent of the group everybody=20
can read almost all. Of yourse user mustn't be the one which is in group=20
backup!
