Restore as New CloudSQL Instance

[Arvind Stutzen]

CloudSQL automated backup is working daily on schedule. We like to test if the backup is correct and will not create any problem while restoring. Without affecting the running instance data is it possible to restore the backup to a new instance so we can test the data in new instance.

Hello Arvind, 

Yes, it is possible to restore from the backup to a different/new Cloud SQL instance. You can refer to this documentation link for detailed procedure. Here are the tips and requirements for restoring to a different instance

***Note: The restore process overwrites all the current data on the target instance.
