File baseline task options

File baseline task options
You perform a baseline scan by creating and running a file baseline task. We
recommend that you run each baseline scan once to establish the baseline, and
then re-run the baseline scan only when the standard configuration changes.
You should not run the baseline scan on a regular basis if the baseline and
compliance scans are run on the same computer. If you do, then you continually
overwrite the baseline snapshot file.
