When you say a while, how long approximately and what was the size of
the save? Also was this mistyped or is this actually the command you
used? You didn't specify any files to back up with tar with what you've
typed here. (tar czf - . | ft "test1" would work).

Only 45 bytes were written to the tape, so no data. To test to see
if either the backup command was bad or the ft driver messed up, do an
"ft | tar tvzf -". If tar doesn't complain about reaching premature EOF
then the archive was empty.
