Do you expect a typical restore command? If yes, here is a small bash script I use for check restore ...
barmanBackupID=""
barmanBackupServer=$1
if [ 1 -eq $# ]; then
echo ${barmanBackupServer}
barmanBackupID=$(barman list-backup ${barmanBackupServer} |tac|tail -n2|head -n1| awk '{print $2}')
barman recover --jobs 4 --remote-ssh-command "ssh postgres@srv397" --target-time "$(date +%Y-%m-%d) 23:30:00.000" --target-action pause ${barmanBackupServer} ${barmanBackupID} /mnt/data1/postgresql_postgresqlbackupintegritychecker_general/data
else
echo "server name expected as the only argument of script"
fi

Currently I use barman configured with replication slot (for minimum data loss without beeing synchronous) and wal archiving to the backup server.
Wal archiving to the backup server is done through archive_command of postgresql.conf
Is it answer you questions?

(Sorry to dredge up this old thread.)
Do you just change the IP address of the "restore target"?

Every N minutes you copy the WAL files to the backup server?
