[Borgbackup] Archive File Integrity Check Against Local File System

 I am new to borg, would anyone be willing to explain to me the best way to verify an archive is identical to the files in the local filesytem that were backed up? 
After reading through the documentation my understanding of command borg check is integrity checks of the repository structure and metadata at the block level. I read the command borg export-tar /path/to/repo::archive-name - | tar --compare -f - -C /path/to/compare/to  would complete an integrity check between an archive and the local filesystem.
Is this correct? How is tar comparing these files with hashes or just ctime or mtime? Is there a better way to ensure files are identical? I look forward to learning how you verify your backups. 
Thanks
Kevin
