Hi Neal,
right now I don't have the time to advance over this , digging the code
of tracing features.
Trace data have a big part of information needed to do a transaction log
retention (in sql) but surely isn't the best place to get this
information just a casual gift.
Other feature that probably has some handling useful to retain
transactions can be the CREATE CLUSTER that synchronize a slave node;
it's another code to digg.

Anyway  all this would be just a start point or a suggestion to create a
new feature in H2 that has to be approved and supported by Thomas.

I'm sure that must will be a better way to do that.
But if  actual features with some arrangement are close , we can work on
it or suggest a feature request.

I was looked it some time ago , seems very complete, consistent , well
defined and ideal for large scale scenarios ;
but in my opinion it's over-sized for some use cases.

No matter that log retention it's a very desirable feature and the
choice of many databases as the vehicle for replication, incremental
backups and recovery.
