Copy the last part since the file has been updated

Input File1 constatntly running and growing in size.

My Program Erorr ddmmyy hh:mm:ss My Program Error
**Port 123 terminated
**ID PIN 12345
Comamnd Successful
Command Terminated
Command Successful
Command Terminated
**My Program Erorr ddmmyy hh:mm:ss My Program Error
**Port 345 terminated
**ID PIN 67890
Comamnd Successful

**My Program Erorr ddmmyy hh:mm:ss My Program Error
**Port 678 terminated
**ID PIN 13579
Comamnd Successful
Command Terminated
Command Successful
Command Terminated

I periodically copy file1, to file2 and then run awk script to display "Program Errors" and then mailx to my inbox.

This part is working fine, however since the input file1 is constantly running and growing in size, is there a way to copy
only the last part that have been updated since last copy was run.
**I can add a time stamp to the file's header or footer if that can make things easier.
Thank you
