# Working with Replica 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 vSphere VMs protected by Veeam replication jobs, create a replica plan.
