Yes there is a way but I guess you have to take the help of 3rd party tools like en-sharegate. (I am not promoting this product and I am not working with this product too)

You can watch the sample video here

Still I will be looking with this issue and keep this post updated with my recent research on this.

It seems that you cannot do this. The reason behind is your SharePoint server will not updated same as SharePoint Online.

The SharePoint Online is updated automatically by Microsoft, and you can't control to that. For example if you are using SharePoint 2013 then your server will be using the major version 15 while SharePoint Online has been already updated and now SharePoint Online is using major version 16.

The technical reason for problem is :-

Lets say you are migrating the data from SharePoint Online to SharePoint on Premises, then the data will look for assembly version 16.0.0.0 but your SharePoint on premises will still have older version 15.0.0.0. So it will not allow to migrate.

If you have SharePoint 2016 on premises. Then probably you will not get error while back up and restore.

Let me know if you need more information.
