I just heard of a way to back up your Gmail. I have not tried it but by forwarding your email to yahoo from your Gmail you can keep your emails in two places. I don't know how this will work for your old email but going forward it keeps you from being dependent on just Gmail. I don't know how to guard from having you Gmail account suddenly closed by Google. Many places require an active email to change it from one to another. What happens when your active account suddenly gets closed?
