According to BOL
<---
BACKUP LOG
Specifies a backup of the transaction log only. The log is backed up
from the last successfully executed LOG backup to the current end of
the log. Once the log is backed up, the space may be truncated when no
longer required by replication or active transactions.
--->

Does this mean I could do something else to truncate the log or is it
saying that the backup log command may truncate the log if it feels
like it?

I want ot get a log from a client site onto my server for analysis but
I want ot make absolute certain that my backing up the log on their
server won't truncate it there.
