# Working with Cloud Plans

The type of a recovery plan you create depends on whether you intend to use Orchestrator to switch to VM replicas, to restore machines from backups or backup copies, or to serve data from a destination (NetApp) or secondary (HPE) volume in case a disaster strikes.

If you want to recover machines from vSphere VM and Veeam agent backups to a cloud environment, create a cloud plan.
