Try this:

Install OS and NetWorker
Get latest bootstrap information and tape with latest bootstrap
Configure one device, where you can read the tape with the latest bootstrap
call mmrecov
place tape with bootstrap in the configured device
provide mmrecov with required information, ie. saveset ID, file number etc.
after mmrecov did the job, stop networker, delete /nsr/res,
move /nsr/res.R to /nsr/res and start networker again.

There you are.

If it was a real desaster, you will have to scann tapes and AFD, which were written after the last bootstrap.

Depends on OS, but we use simple approach - ignite the box and restore latest backup on top of it.

Take a savegrp -O backup of all clients on old server, install Networker on new server and restore using mmrecov & nsrck -L7.
