Rclone doesn’t have deduplication. That’s just finding files with the same name. It’s different from deduplication used in backup software.

Think of grinding data in a big machine, and removing blocks that are redundant. You may have every file to be a single copy, and get significant space reduction.

Rclone also has a hash-based dedupe mode. Still different from borg, but it can be a little more robust than name-based.
