I apologize for saying “VSP”, let’s pretend I didn’t.
What’s the quickest/easiest way to determine if a backup used VSS
or not on a Windows server?

Ed,
you seem to be asserting that a client with vsp.sys present will use it,
despite configuration to the contrary done in the client DB on the master.
I
think that's incorrect.
Is
that actually what you meant to say?

VSP?
If VSP.SYS exists in system32\drivers (I think -
double-check that location), then VSP gets used. Uninstall the client, reboot,
and re-install the client without VSP using a custom install.
Be aware that in some rare cases, the system may not come up
after VSP is uninstalled. Some people have seen this multiple times
(lucky me) and some people have never seen it.
