[qoute]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.[/quote]

While I can understand and appreciate some merits in running test restores, 
this got me thinking... Has anybody had a case when a restored file was any 
different then the source one?  I've never seen this.
As for the OP - yes, it can be easily achieved with "recover" command, 
scheduled in cron.  All you need is read the manpage for it, very simple 
implementation.
