    Let I have created 100 GB ancrypted Veracrypt volume .
    Then I have copied that to another folder or external drive . Then rename it and store anothe data inside it .
    Is there any problem ?
    If I copy same veracrypt drive (Completely Blank ,Just after creating the volume) multiple and rename it as requirements . (Images,Documets, etc)
    I have to memorise only one password for each volume .
    It take long time to create 100 Gb volume again again . So I want to use same volume .

    No problem at all. Veracrypt file containers are files like any other, and can be copied, moved, deleted etc. A copy of a Veracrypt file container is entirely independent of the original, and can store entirely different data; you could even change the password for it if you wished. By analogy, it's just like copying, and then editing that copy of, a photo; your edit will not change the original.
