Palo Alto Firewall in Azure backup

Got some PA-VM-FLEX in GCP and Azure. I could create a backup routine for the GCP ones, but, I can't complete a backup for the Azure one. Found some old topics saying it is not possible to backup VM PA in Azure with Azure backup. Is that true? So, if Azure Backup routine doesn't work, what's the way to backup the VM to restore in case needed?

VM-series Failover issue

We have deployed Palo Alto VM-Series firewalls in Azure in Active/Passive mode. When the active firewall fails, the passive firewall successfully becomes the active one. This behavior is reflected correctly in both the firewall interface and the floating IPs within the Azure portal, and the traffic flow is unaffected during this transition. Ho...

AWS VM Series GWLB with Overlay routing - outbound and inbound

This is working as expected. Inbound connections fail to establish. The need for overlay routing is for managing NAT and VPNs on the firewall. An external (3rd pa...

Is there a way, we can directly pu...
