You can have a backup key and keep it off-site (e.g.: at a family member's place).

If you lose your main key, you can resort to that one to re-gain access.

Keys that allow backing up the secret material are tricky, since they could potentially be cloned and someone would have a backdoor with you being unable to know of it.
