Explanation

A baseline is a formally approved snapshot of a system's configuration, used as a reference point for change management and auditing. Baselines are updated through a formal change management process. When numerous change requests accumulate-indicating that the current baseline no longer reflects operational reality or requirements-the baseline is reviewed and updated to incorporate approved changes. Natural disasters and power fluctuations are operational incidents that trigger incident response procedures, not baseline updates. Reducing redundancy is a design decision that would itself go through a change request, not a standalone reason to revise the baseline.
