Automatically backup work project git or hg on commit

Question

When I commit some changes by git or mercurial, I would like to automatically backup (or do similar changes) in another place (backup directory for this project.)

Is it possible?

For mercurial, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1235597/mercurial-automatic-push-on-every-commit — dhke, Apr 07 '15 at 10:05
If you're willing to make the backup directory a repository as well, you can simply make it a remote repo and push to it from the post-commit hook. — chepner, Apr 07 '15 at 12:17

I found solution. In folder .hg I created myhook.sh file and I changed hgrc. I have done in this way:

.hg/hgrc: 
[hooks]
commit =/fullPathToMyHook/myhook.sh

myhook.sh:
hg pull /pathToMyBackUpProject
hg merge
hg update
hg push /pathToMyBackUpProject

Now, then I write

hg commit

it automatically: commit my changes, get last changes from my backup storage, merge it, update and push all changes to backup storage.
