Produces a read-write version of a VDI that can be used as a reference for backup and/or template creation
purposes. You can perform a backup from a snapshot rather than installing and running backup software inside
the VM. The VM can continue running while external backup software streams the contents of the snapshot to
the backup media. Similarly, a snapshot can be used as a "gold image" on which to base a template. A template
can be made using any VDIs.

information to the back end storage driver that the VDI is based on. See the storage vendor driver documentation

A clone of a snapshot should always produce a writable VDI.
