The recommendation for NLB port rules for TS is to delete the default and set
the port range from 3389 to 3389 and specify TCP as the protocol. It states
that this will only load balance connections made by RDP. Does the NLB port
setting rules effect other port and protocol connections, such as external
automated backup solutions?

Re: TS NLB Port Rules

If you configure NLB with a port rule of 3389 - 3389, it will only
load balance traffic on port 3389, which is reserved for Terminal
Services. So it should not interfere with your backup solution or any
other traffic.
