I recently had a technical support person from a backup software
company tell me not to use 120M tapes in our DDS-2 drive because
of wear and tear problems caused to the drive by the tapes!?!

Has anyone else heard anything like this?

I can confirm that. In my last company we did have problems restoring from
120M
tapes. Never a problem with 90M tapes. After happening a couple off times,
our
Director of I.S. made it a policy to use 90M only for all backups.
