gunzip does not decompress to stdout, that's not what you want, gunzip = gzip -d
(g)zcat does this: (g)zcat = gzip -dc

Do you think I should try:

# zcat /NFS_MOUNT/backup.gz | dd of=/dev/hda
or
# gzcat /NFS_MOUNT/backup.gz | dd of=/dev/hda


???

Whichever works. gzcat might simply be an alias for zcat anyway.
