Does OSFMount support the mounting of a compressed img file? (e.g. img.xz)

[Guest]

I've found that when I try to mount a backup that I have compressed with xz that it doesn't like to work. Is it just not supported?

I don't even know what XZ is.
I assume some variation of GZip. But no it isn't supported.

Does it support any compressed img variant then?

Supported file formats can be found on this page

Several of them support compression, e.g AFF and E01.
E01 is the most popular format for forensics.
