Putting user folders in Skydrive on Mac

Hello. I want to back up my Mac but I have had to copy existing system folders (Documents, Pictures, Music) to the Skydrive, and then can't remove (or rename) them. The system will also default to save files in these original system folders which are now empty. This doesn't seem a very good way of running things. 

Can I move my Skydrive so it sits above user level - ie under the Macintosh HD drive - then move all users or one user into the Skydrive? I read that I can move my 'home' folder quite easily, more or less just drag and drop, and then the system should still keep saving files to this location by default. There's too much data in there to save everything but I figure I can simply select the folders I really want backed up.

Want some advice before I try this! Alternative ways of achieving this appreciated!
