NTBackup And Exchange Logs

[ComputerOpsAdmin]

We are backing up our Exchange Database using NTBackup which is working fine. The only problem that we have is that the log files are not getting cleared out after the backup has completed. The Backup is scheduled to run every night and it backs up to a file on the server which in turn is backup via arcserve (backup agent not installed) the logs dont get cleared but when i run the backup on the fly the logs get cleared? can anyone shed any light on this..
