Title: Added 2 knife plugins - backup nodes in an env and that env, backup individual node.

backup_env_nodes will backup all the nodes (optionally api clients) in a given environment along with the environment itself. Also has restore.

We use these tools when migrating from open source Chef to private Chef as we could not move everything at once and needed a way to do entire env's at a time.

Thanks for the help on starting these. I stole heavily from what you already have.
