To backup my SQL/Server database, I run two jobs. One to backup the database and another to backup the logs and truncate the logs. Right now they run independently. There are times when the database backup job fails. In which case, I would not like to run the second job which truncates the logs. It will be good to be able to say start Job B if only Job A completes successfully.

Check out the policy

Check out the policy functions of backup exec. You can create a policy with 2 templates and then create a rule that says if database backup is successful run log backup.
