# Overview

Veeam Recovery Orchestrator (Orchestrator) extends the functionality of Veeam Data Platform by orchestrating recovery processes, with one-click recovery plans for critical applications, and rich features for documentation and testing.


::: note

Veeam Recovery Orchestrator is built on top of Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam ONE, and this guide assumes that you have a good understanding of these solutions.

:::

Orchestrator leverages the recovery capabilities of Veeam Backup & Replication to build disaster recovery workflows, automate recovery processes and eliminate error-prone manual steps. Orchestrator also provides reporting capabilities that let enterprises document their disaster recovery plans to meet compliance requirements. With Orchestrator, you can do the following:

- **Orchestrate recovery operations**. Create workflows to orchestrate recovery to the following environments: VMware vSphere and Microsoft Azure cloud environments — for both virtual and physical machines; Microsoft Hyper-V environments — for virtual machines only.
- **Automate checks and tests**. Schedule checks and tests to automate the verification of recovery plans, with features such as isolated test labs and comprehensive readiness checks.
- **Meet compliance requirements**. View RPO and RTO achievements on the dashboard and generate automatically updated reports for recovery plan checks, tests and executions, ensuring that requirements for compliance and audit are met.
