Comsky Backup vs Acronis
Acronis is a serious backup product with far more surface area than ours. The differences that matter to an Indian buyer are where the copies live, what the machine itself is permitted to do to them, and what a restore costs.
Acronis covers more platforms and workloads than we do, with a cyber-protection suite around the backup. Comsky Backup protects the machines an Indian SMB actually runs, with storage those machines cannot erase.
What actually differs.
Everything in the left column is something publicly and durably true about the other product — where the company is, how the billing is shaped, whether a capability is included or added on. Nothing here turns on a release note.
| Acronis | Comsky Backup | |
|---|---|---|
| Where copies sit | A choice of international data centres | Indian data centres, and that is the only option |
| Ransomware on the protected machine | Protection features on the endpoint | The agent’s storage key has zero delete permission — the machine cannot erase its own backups |
| Restoring | Included, subject to plan | No egress charge, on any plan, including a full restore |
| Billing | Typically in a foreign currency for Indian buyers | Rupees, GST inclusive, one invoice with the rest of the suite |
| How storage is measured | By plan and workload | From the object store after deduplication and compression, not from what sat on disk |
| Breadth | Many platforms and workload types | The machines an Indian SMB runs, done properly |
When Acronis is the better choice
If you need the wider cyber-protection suite, a long list of hypervisors and workloads, or a global vendor your own customers already recognise at diligence, Acronis has all three. We cover fewer platforms on purpose, and if yours is not on the list then the correct answer is the product that supports it.
Acronis is the trademark of its owner and is named here only to describe the comparison. Comsky is not affiliated with them. If you think something on this page is out of date or unfair, tell us and we will correct it — that is cheaper for us than being wrong in public.
The honest way to decide is to use it.
