For MSPs weighing a move

Looking at an Acronis alternative?

Acronis packs a lot into one platform. It also prices that platform through three licensing models, a minimum monthly commitment, and a quote call, and billing complexity is the most repeated complaint in public MSP forums. Here's what flat pricing looks like instead.

Looking for an Acronis alternative?

Magnus Box is channel-only, white-label backup for MSPs. The partner account is $45/mo and includes branding, support and your first 3 licenses. After that, it's $7 per workstation (1 TB) and $17 per server (3 TB), pooled across all your clients, with extra storage at $8/TB. It's month to month, and the 14-day trial needs no credit card. Acronis bills MSPs against a minimum monthly commitment and prices through a calculator or advisor. If you rely on its wider suite (EDR, patching), Acronis may still fit better.

The comparison that matters

What actually changes when you switch.

Acronis sells a broad cyber-protection suite; we deliberately don't. We do backup and restores, extremely well, at a price you can quote from memory. Here's the honest shape of the trade.

One number per device

$7 per workstation with 1 TB and $17 per server with 3 TB of pooled storage per month, published on the site. Acronis' own pricing page describes three licensing models that can't be mixed within a customer tenant. We have one, and it fits in a sentence.

Pooled storage that absorbs growth

Every workstation adds 1 TB and every server adds 3 TB to one pool across your whole client base, so the file server that doubled this year borrows headroom from laptops that didn't. Acronis' solution packages pool storage per customer tenant (300 GB per workstation) with automatic overage billing. Past our pool, it's a published $8 per TB.

No minimum commitment

Acronis uses a minimum monthly commitment model with volume tiers, its own words. With us there's no committed floor: a $45/month partner account, your first three licenses free, and you pay for what's actually deployed.

A console techs learn in a day

One screen for the whole fleet: what's protected, what's pending, what needs a human. No certification course required to check on last night's jobs.

The workloads MSPs actually run

Servers, workstations, Microsoft 365, VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox, disk image, and databases. The full feature list is here.

Support that answers the phone

Phone, chat, and email, answered by people who've run an MSP. Small enough that the founder still picks up.

Common questions

Switching from Acronis, answered.

How is Magnus Box pricing simpler than Acronis?

The partner account is $45/mo and includes branding, support and your first 3 licenses. After that, it's $7 per workstation with 1 TB and $17 per server with 3 TB of pooled storage, per month. That's the whole base pricing model, published on the site, and it never needs a quote call. Acronis offers several licensing models (solution-based and service-based), billed against a minimum monthly commitment, and the actual price is quote-based.

Does Magnus Box offer the same cyber-protection features as Acronis?

No. Acronis is a full cyber-protection suite with EDR, patching, DLP, and more. Magnus Box is backup and recovery only. If you use the wider Acronis suite, we won't replace all of that. If you use Acronis mainly for backup, we're a simpler, more predictable alternative.

How does pooled storage work?

Every license adds storage to one pool: 1 TB per workstation and 3 TB per server. The whole pool is shared by all your clients, so a file server that needs 5 TB just uses headroom from laptops that need a fraction of their terabyte. Extra storage past the pool is $8 per TB.

Is Magnus Box white-label?

Yes. Full white-label on the console, agent, and reports. It's included in the $45/month partner account (includes 3 free licenses), not a paid tier. Your clients see your brand, not ours.

Can I test Magnus Box before switching?

Yes. Start a free trial, deploy it to a test client from your RMM, and do a real restore. The trial is a working environment, not a demo. Code RAMPUP gives you 30 days free and then 50% off for 60 days to cover the overlap if you switch.

The honest fit check

Who should switch, and who shouldn't.

If you're deep into the wider Acronis suite (EDR, patching, DLP) and consolidating security tooling under one vendor is the strategy, a backup-only specialist won't replace all of that, and we won't claim to.

If what you actually use is the backup, and what you want is restores that work, storage priced in one line, and a bill you can predict twelve months out, that's precisely what we do.
