---------------------------------------------
My recollection is that the minimum is a value greater than 1, I think it is 3.
> Autopurge deletes log file prior to oldest retained snapshot even though
> restore may need it

> Autopurge retains all log files whose zxid are >= the zxid of the oldest
> snapshot file that it is going to retain (in PurgeTxnLog
> retainNRecentSnapshots()). However, unless there is a log file with the same
> zxid as the oldest snapshot file being retained (and whether log file and
> snapshot file zxids are equal is timing dependent), loading the database from
> snapshots/logs will start with the log file _prior_ to the snapshot's zxid.
> Thus, to avoid data loss autopurge should retain the log file prior to the
> oldest retained snapshot as well, unless it verifies that it contains no
> zxids beyond what the snapshot contains or there is a log file whose zxid ==
> snapshot zxid.
