Clear log after backup

Hello everybody,
I set up a backup routine to one of my SQL-Server databases.
Its a full backup, and I dont know why, but the log file its not cleared
after the backup. I thought the full backup, when executed, would clear the
database log. Is there something missing ?
EvandroFull backups do not truncate the log. You need to issue a log backup for
that or set the recovery mode to SIMPLE.
