Yes. You need Apple networking so the Linux machine will fake a Mac. On
Debian, that would be the netatalk package. That also pulls in avahi
(bonjour implementation), so your Mac will find the server
automatically.

However, if you encrypt the backup, the files on the Linux machine are
opaque, meaning you can't extract a file on the Linux machine. I have
not experimented with an unencrypted backup.

This is how I back up my iPhone, since Apple won't release iPhone
backup software for Linux.

You could also mount a Samba share on your Mac.
