Thank you for your response, This is first time I'm doing migration for ML7 product. Management API seems to be directed more towards ML8, is that true? Will this work only with version 8? Due to licensing we can only migrate from v7 to v7.
After digging through documentation it seems like xquery scripting is best option for setting up automated backups and later restoration. Do you have any experience with writing any xquery scripting for backups and doing restore from these backups? I'm wondering if I would come up with a script and use it to backup current environment and restore everything in new environment I'll be at home. Do you have any thoughts on that?

I don't think there is any one-click solution that you are missing. If it's a one-off, you can just fix things up and get them going. I happen to do a lot of this one-off stuff, so not that experienced in building config stuff, but on any project that lasts, it's nice to have something scripted. Do you put in the work up front, to get something easier to use and for sure repeatable? There are various ways of setting things up, including xqy scripts and Roxy. Something else to note is that the REST management API has been expanded a lot: http://www.marklogic.com/what-is-marklogic/whats-new/management-api/ I think samplestack at http://www.marklogic.com/what-is-marklogic/whats-new/samplestack/ has a couple configurations built with gradle and with JS that might be worth looking at.
