Well, it's true that a password manager is a single point of failure.

If you have two password managers then they can serve as backups for each other. Unfortunately that means you have to register each account twice.

Just use a password manager that allows you to have a local copy of everything (e.g. KeePass) and just back it up as any other file

That could work, assuming your usual file backup methods are secure enough and it doesn't create a circular dependency.
