You should always use the Volume Creation Wizard to create a new TrueCrypt volume. If you copy a container and then start using both this container and its clone in a way that both eventually contain different data, then you might aid cryptanalysis (both volumes would share a single key set). See also the chapter How to Back Up Securely in the documentation.
