Hi Jose,

Maybe this link will help,

http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en_US&docId=200000062972954

The itrc doc id is KBRC00000427.

The doc says,

/quote/

A primary example of an unsupported exit code returned from fbackup is exit code 137. An exit code of 137 indicates a kill signal from the fbackup process. The signal that was caught is 137-128 = 9, i.e. kill -9. The most common cause of this exit code is full storage media (dev/rmt/0m -- tape is full). Other signal exit codes can be solved for similarly. A complete list of signals can be found in /usr/include/sys/signal.h

/EndQuote/

Hope this helps.

FYI:
fbackup allocates resources that are not returned to the system if it is killed in an ungraceful manner. If it is necessary to kill fbackup, send it a SIGTERM, not a SIGKILL.
