Can other users verify if this is the proper procedure to update TAs in a distributed environment?

I would appreciate if the following procedure could be verified. I am planning to do the following when updating TAs: 1. Make a backup copy of the TA folder (Splunk_TA_cisco-asa for example) located in `/opt/splunk/etc/deployment-apps/ or /opt/splunk/etc/master-apps` 2. Copy the folder containing the updated version of the TA into `/opt/splunk/etc/deployment-apps/` or `/opt/splunk/etc/master-apps`, overwriting the contents of the current version. 3. Issue either the `./splunk reload deploy-server` or `./splunk apply cluster-bundle` depending on whether it is a deployment-app or master-app. If/when changes are made to the "local" folder of an app, it is currently being made on the distribution server, not the client. That said, is there a need for me to "excludeFromUpdate = $app_root$/local"? Thank you.
