If the server you want to restore had the ASR recovery save set backed up as 
part of the normal backup routine, you can attempt to do a bare-metal recovery 
with that.  Here's a microsoft article the talks about this in general terms:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc758365.aspx

I've had some success with this in the past, but in general I would not give 
high marks to Networker for doing bare metal recoveries of any sort, ASR or 
otherwise.  There are too many parameters that have to be 100% identical to the 
original system for you to have any confidence that the bare metal recovery 
will work with Networker.  Most of the big backup systems have this problem too 
(bare metal restores of Windows boxes), so it's not unique to NW.  There are 
3rd party packages (Homebase leaps to mind, but there are others) that can 
address just the bare metal recovery portion of the restore.
