The log truncation takes place only when running VDI based backups. As you are running a VSS based backup, required to backup the entire SP farm, in this case the logs will NOT be truncated (this is a VSS limitation).
You should manage the logs management through SQL itself, using different policies available.
On the other hand you can use NMM to backup only the SP related DB's using VSS based backups, and then VDI backups to backup any other SQL DB, in case the SQL server hosts also non-SP related DB's.
Please let us know if you need any further information.
So what is the recommended process for using the NMM to backup sharepoint?
from what I am reading the NMM only does part of the job.
If anyone else reading this backing up sharepoint with Networker I would be very interested to know how you are doing it and how you have configured the clients.
