Yes, if it has enough space. You need about 2 to 3 times what you intend to backup.

If you have 3 Macs, each with 300GB of space used on their drives, you would need 2.7TB of space on the backup drive.

If the drive is connected to the iMac Pro, you could back up other Macs over WiFi to that drive.
