Dedupe across different directories but same content

[yonas]

I'm dumping some remote documents into differently named temporary directories via mktemp -d into one rustic repo.

Is rustic capable of noticing that it's the same content and storing only one copy?

YES.

Content is deduplicated across all repository regardless of where it is. So the same bits are never stored twice.

If you want to understand a bit more how it works here you are some explanation (it is from restic blog but you probably already know that rustic is using exactly the same algorithms and repository format):
