Write everything in your ~/.brackup.conf - see docs.

That can be easily achieved with a shell script that calls
brackup-target list_backups and then brackup-restore. IMO a built-in

I probably miss the point of your desired verification feature, but here
again I think that you can do that with a shell script (brackup-restore
&& diff).
