Test restores through scheduled jobs? Veritas Netbackup

We want to do regular test restores for Unix and Windows hosts using
NetBackup. Our goals are very modest at first, i.e. I just want to
test that the beginning and the end of the tape are readable.

The plan is to create one small file to the beginning of the backup
job, and one to the end of it.
Example (assuming that the backup job happens in "alphabetical
order"):
/aaaa-backup-restore-test-file
/var/sys/zzzz-backup-restore-test-file
Then we want to schedule these two files to be restored to /tmp after
every full backup.

What I am asking in this forum is how I can configure NetBackup to
perform these restores automatically.

Thanks for your help,
