You will have to backup the Transaction Log. You may

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
