Ok, here's the parts that I'd give away:

1) The backup solution, and how much (GB) data you encrypt.
2) The OS's that you back up wll be on the vendor's site anyway, so  
if you say that you use Windows, it's not really that much of a big  
thing, as most companies run Windows somewhere these days.
3)None of their business, I don't see how this is relevant to the  
backup article
4)Who you are, maybe, where're you're located, no.

Just my 2p's worth
