Question copy, clear and keep to new data only

I have an Ingres database logfile that grows constantly, iircp.log. It is always "attached" to the Ingres process that uses it, and I do not want to screw up the data. I have been copying it to another directory and then using vi on the original to reduce the size 34000 lines at a time. What I want is some way to copy the active file to another directory and drop the difference between the two (any new lines) back into the original file without disconnecting it.
