It is a  possiblity.  I've  used  DiskFit  to back up  my Mac to a Sun
directory.  Of course, it is hindered by the speed of the network, but
can't have everything.

If you want automatic backups,  you will needs something like AutoBack
or Retrospect which has some timing and auto-reminder features.  Heck,
you  could probably use   QuickTimer as part  of  QuickKeys  to do the
backup for you, now that I think about it.
