Yes.

Actually, you need the post-update hook. post-commit doesn't run on the gitosis server.

I suggested post-commit because I thought you were talking about
backing up your local working directory each time you called
"git commit".  But since you are actually backing up every
"git push" you need to use the hooks invoked by that instead.
