I think all of them instruct you to keep a backup paper wallet of the seed. At least Trezor does. You write it down on a piece of paper and can use that seed to restore your wallet should your device be destroyed.

Obviously, you have to keep the backup of the seed safe, because anyone who has the seed can get your bitcoins.
