They offer one-time backup codes that can be used if a device is lost. I'm not sure if this is Google or the site, but for every login where I've set up Google Authenticator I have copied the backup codes to my password manager for that account. I'd agree that a lot of people might not do that however.

Google the site has backup codes for logging in to Google. Completely unrelated to the data in Google Authenticator.

Google Authenticator used to have no way to get the data out, but does now have an export. It still has no normal backups.
