Step 3: Select Acronis Plan
On the deployment screen, choose a plan based on storage capacity.
Plan Model
Each plan defines:
- Total backup storage quota
- Monthly subscription price
Available plans:
- 100 GB
- 200 GB
- 300 GB
- 400 GB
- 500 GB
- 1 TB (1000 GB)

Step 4: Subscribe
- Review the selected plan and price.
- Confirm credit balance deduction.
- Click Subscribe to Acronis.
If your credit balance is insufficient, the cost is shown in red with a warning, and Subscribe to Acronis stays disabled until you top up.
Once confirmed, CloudRaya creates a service subscription and provisions your access to the Acronis platform.
Step 5: Access the Acronis Portal
After provisioning completes:
- Go to My Apps in the CloudRaya dashboard
- Click your Acronis subscription to open its detail page
You will find:
- Launch Console button (to access the Acronis portal)
- Access Credentials: an auto-generated Username with a Copy action. The password is not displayed on this page. If you don't have it or have lost it, use Reset Password (see below) to issue a new one
- Your current package (storage size and usage) and subscription status
- Upgrade Package button
- An actions menu (⋮) with Reset Password, Copy Username, Cancel Subscription, and View Documentation
- A Quick Start checklist (log in to the console, download the Acronis Agent, set up backup and protection rules)
Click Launch Console to open the Acronis management portal, then log in using the provided credentials.
Resetting Your Password
Acronis passwords are reset through an email link, not changed directly in the panel. This only resets the password for your Acronis application, it does not affect your main CloudRaya account password.
- From the actions menu, click Reset Password and confirm.
- CloudRaya emails a password reset link to your registered email address.
- Open the link and copy the new password from the Acronis App New Password page. The password is shown only once and cannot be viewed again, so save it before leaving the page.
- The link is single-use. Once it has been used or has expired, the page shows Your link is invalid and you'll need to start a new reset.
Your previous password stops working once the new one is generated, and there's no way to set a custom password directly.
Service Management Overview
Acronis operations are split into two layers:
CloudRaya Control Layer
Managed in the CloudRaya dashboard:
- Subscription status
- Upgrade
- Cancellation and restore
- Billing and credit usage
Acronis Service Layer
Managed in the Acronis console:
- Device registration
- Backup policies
- Storage usage monitoring
- Security and protection features
- Restore and recovery operations
Managing Your Subscription (CloudRaya Layer)
From the Acronis service page in My Apps, you can:
Upgrade Package
Click Upgrade Package to move to a higher storage tier at any time. The dialog shows your current package and only lets you pick a larger one, there is no option to move to a lower storage tier. It also shows the prorated Due Now cost and the Next Billing amount, based on remaining time in the current billing cycle, and warns you if your credit balance is insufficient. A confirmation toast reports whether the upgrade succeeded or failed.
Use when:
- Backup usage approaches your quota
- You add more protected devices
Choose a plan you expect to need, or start smaller and upgrade as your backup usage grows, since you can't move back down later.
Cancel Subscription
From the actions menu, click Cancel Subscription. As a safety measure, the dialog asks you to type the exact confirmation text it shows before the Cancel Subscription button is enabled (or click Keep Subscription to back out).
Cancellation is a scheduled request, not an instant teardown:
- You'll see a Cancellation request submitted confirmation
- The subscription is marked as cancelled but stays active until the end of the current billing period (the panel shows the exact date), after which it is deleted
- Billing still runs through the end of that period, it does not stop the moment you cancel
- While in this state the panel shows a Restore Subscription button. Restoring (which also asks you to type the confirmation text) resumes the subscription and cancels the scheduled deletion
Before canceling:
- Restore or export important data
- Verify backup dependencies
- Review retention requirements
Managing Devices & Backups (Acronis Layer)
All operational activities are handled in the Acronis console.
Typical Workflow
- Log in to the Acronis console
- Download and install the Acronis Agent
- Register your device
- Assign a backup policy
- Monitor backup status and storage usage
- Perform restore operations when needed
Storage Usage & Quota Model
Your subscription includes a shared storage pool:
- All devices consume from the same quota
- Usage is updated as backups are created and retained
- Historical versions and retention policies affect total usage
Best Practices
- Monitor usage regularly
- Adjust retention policies as needed
- Upgrade plan before reaching storage limits
Billing Model
Acronis is billed as a monthly subscription aligned with the calendar month.
- The billing period runs from the 1st day to the last day of each month
- If you subscribe or upgrade mid-month, charges are prorated based on the remaining days in the current billing period
- When upgrading, the unused portion of your current plan is calculated and applied, and you are charged only for the price difference for the remaining period
- Only one Acronis plan can be active at a time
Example (mid-month upgrade)
You are on a 100 GB plan (Rp250.000/month) and upgrade to 200 GB (Rp500.000/month) on April 15.
- Billing period: April 1 – April 30 (30 days)
- Remaining days: 16 days
The remaining value of your current plan is applied to the new plan, and you are only charged for the difference for the remaining period.
In this case, the additional charge is approximately Rp133.334.
Example (mid-month subscription)
If you subscribe on April 20, you will only be charged for the remaining days until April 30. Starting from May 1, the full monthly charge will apply.
Data Retention & Cancellation
Before canceling your subscription:
- Restore or export any required data
- Review retention and compliance requirements
- Confirm no systems depend on Acronis for recovery
Once canceled, access to the service and stored data may be permanently removed.
