:version output tells where various vimrc and gvimrc files are checked. In particular on Windows, these files are checked outside of your $HOME directory (in addition to those in your $HOME and $HOME\vimfiles directories):

$VIM\vimrc
$VIM\_vimrc
$VIM\_exrc
$VIM\_exrc
$VIM\gvimrc
$VIM\_gvimrc

If you still have an old copy of Vim around that worked for you by default, check the output in that Vim of:

:verbose set backspace?

This should tell you not only what value it is set to, but also what script set it that way.
