Yes, that works, unless you system does a crash/burn and for some reason you cannot get all of your "files and data" off your backups. Oooops, sorry you forgot to backup that file somehow.
I am rebuilding a desktop back after the primary drive failed and I did not have 1 to 2 weeks of work on the backups, and "certain" config files were missed in the backup "process". The drive died the day I was scheduled to backup the work for that week or so. Now I have a new drive, double the size, but still working on getting all of those bits and pieces of packages and utility configuration back to where it should be. So a password manager can work fine, if you are on the system where it is stored and you somehow do not loose it in a crash and burn of a disc drive. Writing it down on paper and securing it somewhere safe will not depend on proper backups and sharing the password management "system" between several computers you might use - i.e. desktop and laptop, and maybe a tablet. Paper is also not software dependent if you run Windows, Linux, and Android systems. I do.
