It is likely that this drive was either (a) unformatted; or (b) formatted with partitions which your Linux system does not know how to mount (such as Apple "HFS+"). You should format or reformat the Drive to contain a usable partition, as 'root'.
(1) Verify that the disk is at least seen as a hard drive. (command 'fdisk -l' should list a new drive letter, e.g. '/dev/sdb' on a laptop which contains only one hard drive (that being '/dev/sda'). If your system already has two hard drives, the new one should be seen as '/dev/sdc', and so on. You may also use 'gparted' the GUI program, to inspect your disks and verify the drive letter.
(2) Next: using either gparted or fdisk (on the CORRECT Drive letter!!), delete any unrecognized partitions on the USB drive, and add a new one which uses the entire drive. If the drive will only be used with Linux, then any Linux-recognized partition type may be used. But, if it will be shared with Windows Computers, NTFS or exFAT should be used. If it will be used with various and unknown computer types, exFAT is the best choice - because nearly all computers can read and write on an exFAT USB drive.
But to format as exFAT, you probably need to go back to the command line. (exFAT != FAT32.) Write your changes (with no partition created), and use the following command: 'mkfs.exfat -n your_label /dev/sdc1'. If you want just one big partition holding all of your backups, take default values for partition number and partition extent - use the whole disk. If the command is not recognized, you need to install tools for exFAT support into your system.
Finally: to succeed in making the device FULLY Apple-compatible: you need to add to boot 'features' on that disk:
(3) You must format the boot sector as GPT: Use 'gdisk /dev/sdc' (with 'w' to write change, 'Y' to confirm, and 'q' to quit). Finally:
(4) run command line parted like this: 'parted /dev/sdc'. Type in this command: 'set 1 msftdata on' and then 'q' to quit.
Be sure to unmount the created partition, after using the drive and before pulling the USB cable. On most Linux distros, these disks will automount successfully - and it should also do that on modern Windows and OS-X Releases, too.
