Enhanced Security Measures in Place: To ensure a safer experience, we’ve implemented additional, temporary security measures for all users.

PANOS 8.1.9
When we are doing the config backup we do not see all the config is getting backed up – for example, the firewall rules, NAT and port forwarding rules are not seen in the backup – Apparently a very fraction of the configuration is saved.
Can you please suggest how to fix this?

Is your device managed by Panorama ?
HOW TO EXPORT BACKUPS OF MANAGED DEVICE CONFIGURATION FILES FROM PANORAMA

You would simply need to decompress the folder and import the dc2-firewall-01_002501002685.xml file onto the firewall ('Import named configuration snapshot' in the GUI) and then load ('Load named configuration snapshot') and commit the configuration.

Editing my response.
The device is managed by Panaroma.
I have tried via Panorama as per the link (thank you!) and this one exports the config as following
and the Panorama_000702870043.xml apparently has all the config- including both the firewalls.
What do we do when we need to restore a config for one firewall? example dc2 firewall.
Say, dc2 firewall died and we received a blank replacement – in that case we need to restore dc2 config only.
How is this to be done?

What/Why do you think there is anything missing?
As BPry says, just load the XML to the firewall. Ensure the new F/W is on the same SW version first to ensure compatibility.
If you have not got a spare or anything you can test a re-load, the download and install "Pan Expedition" for free and load the config into that.

Sorry, just clicked Resolved too soon.
If we only import dc2-firewall-01_002501002685.xml, this file does not have all the config.
The file “Panorama_000702870043.xml” has most of the config ( which also includes dc1’s config)
so if we need to restore dc2 firewall config – under this scenario – what is the full config restoration procedure for dc2 only?

What's Missing???
Also Try a manual backup export from DC2
