Default Installation master "disk" using USB memory stick, dd?

Carpetsmoker - thanks for a truly useful site!

I've just completed a new server install of FreebSD 7.0-RELEASE and want to make a master backup for possible installation on a series of other boxes. What I'd like to do ideally is to use dd to copy my base install to a USB memory stick, then just dd it up to the new machine's hard drive. Like..

Code:
dd if=/dev/da0 of=/dev/da1 bs=1024
Would this work?

Thanks in advance..
