You can mirror a folder on your machine with your Briefcase using the 3rd party application 'lftp'.
Once lftp is installed you must create the script which controls what it does. A simple example is:
lftp -u yourlivedriveemailaddress@provider.com,yourlivedrivepassword ftp.livedrive.com/
mirror -R -v ~/ .
quit
The first line of this script tells lftp to connect to Livedrive's FTP service with your Livedrive username and password.
The second line, tells lftp to sync your home directory to the FTP service.
The third line tells lftp to quit.
lftp synchronises your folders recursively so if your home folder is very big then you might like to limit it to just one folder within your home directory. If so, you could change the second line so it just backs up your Documents folder:
mirror -R -v ~/Documents/ .
If you prefer to upload the contents to a specific folder in your Livedrive account, e.g. a folder called 'MyLinuxPC' you would change the first line of the script:
lftp -u yourlivedriveemailaddress@provider.com,yourlivedrivepassword ftp.livedrive.com/MyLinuxPC/
Once you've finished the script you need to save it to your home folder with a senisble name, e.g. livedrivesync.
You can then run this script whenever you want to backup your computer and it will upload any new or changed files (the first time you run it, it will upload everything):
lftp -f ~/livedrivesync
