Even being 100% sure Google won't lose my email in an accident and 99% sure they'll never duck my account, I still IMAP all my messages out of it. For that 1%, no less.

I have created a to-do list for the start of each calendar quarter. It includes things like:

* Replace toothbrush heads (electric)

* Spring clean two rooms in the house

* Download backups of all email accounts

* Download backups of all cloud web sites

* Sync external hard drives to cloud archival storage

* Download QIF and QBO of all bank accounts

It's quarterly. Worst case scenario, I lose last three months. And by doing it quarterly, I usually add to the to do list, and it's a catch-up.

Cleaning two rooms of my house take the longest time. Everything else can be done in about 1-2 hours.
