I was thinking of doing this sort of thing, but like so many ideas, the
time just isn't available for me to implement it.

My idea is to set up a set of files on a given NetWorker client, then
schedule a restore of those files via a script to the client, but to a
different folder, then use a "diff" script to verify the restored and
original files are the same.
