I noticed that the 1.2Mb floppies were not what one would call robust. It was a very common event to backup data to a 1.2Mb diskette and not be able to restore it on someone elses drive due to alignment problems what whatnot. This may have been a problem with down-level hardware or something, but it made me paranoid enough to always use 360Kb floppies for backups.
