Are you upgrading Pro or Enterprise? If you are upgrading Enterprise, you can use the Archive and Deploy features as you suggested. I did it with a couple of systems, one of which had six separate server instances on it. Just go into the CF Admin for each instance, export all of the settings (except for the CFIDE mapping) into a car file, then uninstall CFMX 6.1. Make sure you stop all services if you have multiple server instances running as services.
Install CFMX 7 Enterprise. Run the configuration wizard from the browser after the initial install finishes. Create your server instances using the server manager features in CFMX 7 Admin. Go into the CF Admin for each instance and deploy the car file for that instance. That should be it. Rob >I need to upgrade a client from CFMX 6.1 to CFMX 7.
