1 when making a backup of my home folder (ubuntu 18.04 lts) with grsync how do i include my hidden folders where the CM data is stored.

You create a custom mount point in the home folder:

1. Create a new folder in the home dir
2. Open settings of your vault
3. Activate “Custom Mount Point”
4. Choose the created folder.

Then the decrypted vault will be included in your backup.

2 how do i bakcup the the folder key as there are 2 files and one is the backup key file.

Some changes to the vault will lead to a new masterkey.cryptomator-file like changing the password, updating the vault format etc. In this situations, we create a new version of this (backup) file. So it is a good idea to backup all files if you want to restore the files e.g. using the old password.
The masterkey.cryptomator is always the latest version.
