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.
