Tech/Engineering / Software settings
English term or phrase: potential base snapshot
"Specify the name of the certified configuration information file to compare the potential base snapshot against."

In this context, "base snapshot" is a database to manage system configuration. I want to know what "potential" means here. TIA

Japanese translation:(もしあれば)
Explanation:
I guess that this 'potential' is not a technical term, so the meanings can vary depending on the context.
I estimate that the author probably means "the base snapshot" should normally exist, but do not have to exist necessarily.
So my tentative translation is:

「その基本スナップショット(もしあれば)と比較する、認証済みの設定情報ファイルの名前を指定してください。」
