    There will need to be 2 jobs.

    For the hourly log backups, look into the RESTORE LOG command in SQL Backup.  It allows you to specify a search pattern for the transaction log backup files, which it will then restore automatically for you in sequential order, then move the files to a different folder so that it will not be restored again. 

    So it's one T-SQL job that may look something like this:
    EXEC master..sqlbackup '-sql "RESTORE LOG mydb FROM DISK = [\\backupfiles\mydb\logs\*.sqb] WITH STANDBY = [g:\dbundo\mydb.und], MOVETO = [\\backupfiles\mydb\logs\restored\]"'

    For the weekly full backup, look into using the LATEST_FULL option.  This instructs SQL Backup to look for and restore the latest full backup file(s) in a given folder.  It's a T-SQL job that may look something like this:
    EXEC master..sqlbackup '-sql "RESTORE DATABASE mydb FROM DISK = [\\backupfiles\mydb\full\*.sqb] LATEST_FULL WITH STANDBY = [g:\dbundo\mydb.und]"'
