What sort of backup are you looking to take? configuration? or logs?

The configuration should reside on panorama and you can export those daily

For logs, you can either add an additional log collector or set up log forwarding to for example a syslog server

I want to take a configuration backup of the dedicated log collectors.

In a disaster recovery scenario, I would like to have a device-state-level backup for the log collectors, similar to the device-state backup available on firewalls. The goal is to restore a new log collector by simply importing the backup, without requiring any manual reconfiguration.
