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.
