Otherwise, you're at the mercy of servers and backup processes you've never seen, and have no control over.

I got Quickbooks Payroll free for 6-months then locked it in for $9.95/month (it usually runs $29.99, I believe). So maybe keep an eye out for a deal on QB. As far as Daylite goes, I have used it for about 2 years now to run my business and I could not be happier. I am from the school of you get what you pay for. Daylite has it all and while it's a bit on the pricey side, you own a business and it's a business expense. This program is very powerful and w/ the iPhone addition, it puts it in a class by itself. The justification is that you are a business owner in need of software to run your business. You have graduated from iCal & Address Book. I hope it all works out for you, good luck.
