I'm aware that the Authy app allows encrypted backups of your OTP accounts. Well, you need to remember the encryption password, so better write that down on an analog copy, too.
It does allow that but @Abhishek0.2 you should note that Authy is closed source and had some breaches in the past[1]. If you can I would still recommend that you opt for open sourced application (I have mentioned them[2] in my previous post).

And it seems the Authy encrypted backup must be stored on their server[1]. Meanwhile, your recommendation (Aegis) let us copy encrypted backup file as we like.
