I doubt unlocker would work as apache seems to grab control of the file, write to it, then release over and over. This means that even if I use unlocker, it will probably grab the file again a second or so later. If the file is small enough I can just copy it even if it takes a few tries it will complete within the window. However, the log file is > 1GB so that is not possible here. I have found hobocopy and shadowcopy but I cannot add them to the server, I have to do the copy across the network.
