what do I need to learn to do this task?

[Justinas Urbanavicius]

well each of repository is already a backup by itself, and i don't think
you have to learn anything special. hg serve command shows you what ip/host
your server is running on so you just need to write it into your config.

either way i think you are using mercurial as a backup tool more than a
version control, some people like to do commits, paranoiacally as often as
using save in word :) but i don't think it's a good practice, each commit
should be meaningful, a change that reflects something
