You will have to backup the Transaction Log. You may
schedule a job which backs up the log every night.

Backup the log before shrinking the database.

Answer / sujay kumar

You should schedule the job for shrinking the database log.
Sometime, it looks impossible to shrink the Truncated Log
file. Following code always shrinks the Truncated Log File
to minimum size possible.
USE DatabaseName
GO
DBCC SHRINKFILE(<TransactionLogName>, 1)
BACKUP LOG <DatabaseName> WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY
DBCC SHRINKFILE(<TransactionLogName>, 1)
GO

In MS SQL Server 2005
select * from sys.database_files
Above Query will return .mdf , .ldf file & all other
details releted to these files of the database
After that you should run following DBCC Statement

DBCC Shrinkfile(Log_file_name.ldf,1,truncateonly)
