It is probably easier to determine why NetWorker will not start, then correct 
the issue so that you can get it working again.

Alternatively, you can set another NetWorker on a different host with the same 
operating system as the original server, then determine where the most recent 
bootstrap and recovery that bootstrap.  This also presumes that you have a tape 
device that can be connected to this replacement host to read your tapes.  ...  
 This is the classic disaster recovery scenario of the backup server, so you 
can consult the disaster recovery guide for further help on this topic.

If you are unable to determine where the bootstrap is, then scanner is your 
next choice.
