Howdy,
You may want to try restarting Webmin -- you can do that with:
/etc/init.d/webmin restart
Also, some clues may be in the error log, located in /var/webmin/miniserv.error.
As far as backing up accounts from the shell -- you can use the command line tools for that.
Try running "virtualmin backup-domain" from the command line to get a list of options.

thanks for quick reply i did restart and checked the error log file:
Failed to bind to port 10000 : Address already in use Could not listen on any ports at /usr/share/webmin/miniserv.pl line 456.
and i am looking into virtualmin backup-domain it looks pretty useful.
It sounds like there's a stray Webmin process running that's causing some breakage. Here's what I'd do to fix that:
Log into your server as root over SSH
Stop Webmin: /etc/init.d/webmin stop
Find any running Webmin processes: ps auxw | grep minisev | grep webmin
Use "kill" to kill the running processes
Restart Webmin: /etc/init.d/webmin start
And see if that does the trick!

I restarted webmin before i killed all running process about auxw,miniserv,webmin but there is no difference.
Thank you for your time
If you stop Webmin (/etc/init.d/webmin stop), and then run this:
netstat -an | grep :10000
What do you see?

Hrm, it looks like something is keeping the Webmin port open. I have no idea why that is the case :-) But, my suggestion is to wait a few minutes, try the netstat command again.
Whenever it stops showing anything about 10000, then try starting up Webmin again.
