Title: Add link for etcd-backup

Hey Guys!

We recently decided to add etcd to our stack and despite a few bugs we love it. I spent some time looking at a backup utility for it and was not able to find something that worked properly (I had a lot of troubles with etcd-dump, specially when trying to restore the dataset). Eventually I decided to write one: It's very powerful, works perfectly on V2 and has some nice features(respects expiration dates and empty directories, supports backup and restore strategies, etc.).

Performance wise I was able to save a full dump of the data set of 2 Millions data points in 4 minutes. The dump file was 75Mo (json file). And it took 15 minutes to restore it(the etcd cluster was the bottleneck at that point). We have been using it for a month in production now and are very happy about it, so we figure it was time to share it with the world.

Thanks,
Thomas.
