I have just installed Windows Server Backup on 2008 R2 server and when loading it for the first time it fails with a fatal error.
Looking at events , i can see the "Block Level Engine Service" Stopped.

I have removed and reinstalled WSB --still same behaviour.

When manually restarting this , i get the prompt
Windows could not start the Block Level Engine Service on xxxxxxxxxx
"Error 0x80070288.The requested operation could not be completed due to a file size limitation"

VDS and VSS are both set to Manual

Using command net start wbengine --response below

The Block Level Backup Engine Service service is starting.
The Block Level Backup Engine Service service could not be started.

A system error has occurred.

System error 665 has occurred.

The requested operation could not be completed due to a file system limitation

No issue with space in regard to the disk drives
