Like the title says, Can I mirror my boot thumbdrive so I will always have a good backup?
Just starting on freeNAS and I think I like it.
Thanks to all

No. Don't even bother trying to make a disk image either. You can recover from a failed USB key by keeping a backup of your config handy(and up to date). If the USBkey fails then you simply reinstall FreeNAS on a new USB key and import your config, wait for 1 or 2 reboots(I forget which) and everything is back in order.
