A few thoughts:

o  I would swap steps 4 and 5.  That is:  stop the live server and
   then back it up.  Otherwise someone could sneak in and deposit a
   submission between the backup and the shutdown.  Not likely, but
   why not just make it impossible?

o  You may find it difficult to test everything you want to, without
   at least a few of the assetstore files.  You might consider
   exporting two or three items from live, then deleting and
   re-importing them on dev.

o  There is, of course, a step 7.5:  package and build and install the
   patched DSpace on live.
