Scope of --check action

The scope of --check on a single backup or single VM in a backup is clear as all map files are displayed as they are checked.
However, it is unclear to me what is actually checked when a complete repositiory containing several backups is given as the argument.
There is only a global percentage displayed but not what is actually checked.
Each map file in all VMs of all backups?
Only the .blocklog?

Re: Scope of --check action

.map files are always checked, the default and fastest [b][url=https://33hops.com/xsibackup-dc-full-manual-home.html#check]--check[/url][/b] method (file) will just check their existence, whereas [b]fast[/b] will check the size and [b]full[/b] will recalculate the hash and compare it to the original one (the file name of the chunk).
