DDS drives are not as robust as the QIC drives we used to use. :-( If anyone can post anything substantive about problems with 120m tapes in DDS-2 drives I'd be keen to hear. This is the first problem I've heard about recovering data from 120m tapes. Regards, Giles P.S. I have only once lost data on a DDS tape: the tape had been travelling in a car (not mine!) for six or eight weeks of an Australian summer before it was used, which I figured was a reasonable excuse ...
