If you're using MS SQL Server to store Client variables, the recovery model you've chosen for the database will control what happens when the database is backed up by scheduled maintenance task. It sounds like you've chosen full or bulk-logged, in which case you are responsible for truncating the transaction log. If you choose the simple recovery model, the transaction log should be truncated automatically, if I recall correctly. You can also reduce the number of database writes by disabling the option in CF to keep track of Client.Hitcount and Client.LastVisit. If you're not using those variables, you should disable that option.
