You can configure Backup Exec to automatically delete the logs after a certain number of days. This is done during Backup exec database maintenance which runs everyday at 4:00 am by default.

Open Backup Exec GUI, go to Tools | Options | select database maintenance, you will find the option delete expired data, select the option and set the number of days to keep the job logs, history etc before deleting it from Backup exec database.
