[google-cloud-sql-discuss] Verify couldsql backups.

Hi there,

We are trying to create a mechanism for periodic cloudsql-backup validation. 

This is our database setup:
cloudsql-master

  - cloudsql-failover

  - cloudsql-read-replica

We are running two replicas to our master and taking the backups of master every hour. 

As of now our plan is to 

- create a new cloudsql-instance

- restore one of the backups to the new cloudsql-instance

- make this cloudsql-instance a replica to the cloudsql-master

- run the pt-table-checksum against cloudsql-master which then verifies validity of master with all its replicas.

My questions:

- Is is possible to make the cloudsql-instance a replica to cloudsql-master? If so, is it safe to do so?

- Is there a better way to do this whole process altogether?
