+Using Ceph for Cinder backups
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Deployers can use Ceph to hold Cinder volume backups if they have Ceph
+deployed. To get started, set the ``cinder_service_backup_driver`` Ansible
+variable:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    cinder_service_backup_driver: cinder.backup.drivers.ceph
+
+Next, configure the Ceph user and the pool to use for backups.  The defaults
+are shown here:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    cinder_service_backup_ceph_user: cinder-backup
+    cinder_service_backup_ceph_pool: backups
+
