Why not enable snapshots. Then pull that. Or simply run a script the  
watches his login and periododically copies the file.

Hi,

I've just discovered a system on which one of our darling users has
decided adding a script to his .bash_logout file that removes
.bash_history on logout is a clever thing to do.

Is there a way to take a copy of the .bash_history file before it is
deleted? This user obviously has something to hide as far as I'm
concerned, so I need to archive this file to present it as evidence.

Thanks in advance,

MWD.
