According to Veeam:
If you plan to back up VMs running Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 and later, and Data Deduplication is enabled for some VM volumes, it is recommended that you deploy the Veeam Backup & Replication console and mount server on a machine running same or later version of Microsoft Windows Server with Data Deduplication feature enabled. Otherwise, some types of restore operations for these VMs (such as Microsoft Windows File Level Recovery) may fail.

This is how @dustinb3403 suggested replicating VMs between hosts:
While this is accurate, it also misses on the fact that he would still have his NLS server sitting, collecting backups on whatever schedule.
Other than that it is accurate. In Scott's proposal you are making the shift from migrating the entire workload (which is essentially instant) to migrating the database only.
In his case, the load balancer is the weak link in the chain. Granted these don't fail often but it isn't something you have control over either unless you provide your own for the COLO.
2 haproxy VMs (one per host) and keepalived for failover
@scottalanmiller This is not recommended, nor supported by MS as well 
Thanks for all the ideas and thoughts everyone!
It's recommended to have AD for RDS, but it's not a requirement - https://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/04/sln268318/how-to-deploy-windows-2012-remote-desktop-services-in-a-workgroup?lang=en
@scottalanmiller The reason for having a jump server not connected to AD is to reduce the attack surface if the jump server gets compromised.
Hey guys,
i'm a little confused with MS licensing for a jump box. As we need more than 2 concurrent RDP sessions, we need RDS role installed and CALs assigned. For obvious reasons the server is not joined to a domain, so according to MS i can only use device (not user) CALs.
https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askperf/2015/05/08/multiple-per-device-rds-cals-are-issued-the-same-device-issue/ - a certificate is transferred from the server to a connected client.
But some of the clients use Macs instead of pcs, not sure how this is going to work out.
Is anyone else using a similar setup?
Thanks!
We use Expensify and everyone is pretty happy with it.
why are you attacking it?...
Check the app store for new updates. There's an update available to fix this one.
