❔ Copy a file thats in use (using Shadow Copy or something)

Can someone please help me get this code to shadow copy?

        private string CopyToTempFile(string sourceFilePath)
        {
            string destinationFilePath = GetTempFilePath();
            while(File.Exists(destinationFilePath))
                destinationFilePath = GetTempFilePath();


            return destinationFilePath;
        }

        private string CopyToTempFile(string sourceFilePath)
        {
            string destinationFilePath = GetTempFilePath();
            while(File.Exists(destinationFilePath))
                destinationFilePath = GetTempFilePath();


            return destinationFilePath;
        }
