If they get hacked I can change my passwords. If I lost access I have no idea what my passwords are.
What is the best way to backup? I printed off my list and put it into a safe for now.

I use a standalone application rather than a service, so I keep my password file in several different locations. But if I forget my master password then yeah I'm completely screwed, it's not like an online service that has a password reset functionality.
Some apps also support using a private key as part of access to the information, so something you know and something you have (i.e. a keyfile on your computer's hard drive, on a USB stick on your key chain, etc).
Having a hard copy somewhere just in case makes sense IMO, offsite rather than just a safe is even better.
