yes. Same content, same pool file, wherever the content comes from.

I could confuse you by telling you that the initial backup will *temporarily*
need more space for any duplicates not already found in the pool, but that is
most likely not a problem, so I won't ;-). Then again, if you're talking about
*many* NFS roots and very limited space for backups, just do a backup of *one*
of the NFS roots beforehand to make sure everything is in the pool. You can
delete that backup later on. (You can even delete it right away, as long as
BackupPC_nightly doesn't run before your real backup *finishes*.)

But most likely, you'll simply want to ignore this.

Regards,
Holger
