None of the commands will affect the types of backups you can do or the ability to restore from any
type of backup. Be aware that DELETE will log each row deleted, so if you delete a lot of rows, the
next transaction log will be large. TRUNCATE TABLE will only log deallocation of pages, so the
recording of such a statement doesn't use as much space in the transaction log backup.
