you need to do regular backups of your transaction log (and your database). backing up the t-log truncates it for you and doing this helps you recover your database to the point of failure.

please reading the entirety of "backing up and restroing databases" under the "administering sql server" section of SQL Server Books Online immediately.

Please backup all of your databases including master, msdb and model on a regular basis. I am tired of telling people they are screwed. The job you save may be your own.

I am available for consulting work. Just email me though the forum.
