1) Try it and see!
VirtualBox will apply an appropriate file lock, and the clonehd will fail if 
the operation would be unsafe.

2) If 01.vdi is the last VDI in a snapshot chain, or is the base VDI and there 
are no snapshots, then NO.

3) If 01.vdi is NOT the last VDI in a snapshot chain (it is another snapshot 
VDI, or it is the base VDI and there are some
snapshots), then MAYBE.
