Unfortunately you cannot use command-line options to initiate a restore using NTBackup. This is described in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 814583, How to use command line parameters with the NTBackup command in Windows Server 2003.
You'll see that command-line control over backup procedures is supported, but recovery requires use of the Backup and Restore Wizard.

You'll need to evaluate third-party backup solutions or some of the specialized third-party Exchange recovery solutions on the market in order to find a solution that can provide automated recovery.
