Backups: you MUST have a backup! One thing I do is avoid proprietary apps like Google Authenticator and make sure I store the TOTP key separately so I can reconstitute my TOTP codes in another app if necessary. Backups are kept on a backup handset, on my computer, and in an encrypted volume in the cloud at a minimum. What's a little harder to deal with are the services/providers that insist on SMS 2FA (and not to a VoIP number).

You can store the keys separately for any TOTP app. That's kind of inherent in the way TOTP works.
