umm
As of March 2010, the global monthly Internet traffic is estimated to be 21 exabytes.[2] As of May 2009, the size of the World's total Digital content has been roughly estimated to be 500 billion gigabytes, or 500 exabytes.[3]

It may be that what most people mean when they ask the size of the Internet is how many bytes it takes up. Estimating that is a fairly difficult task, but one person made an estimate not so long ago who can probably be trusted to have a good idea. Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google, the world’s largest index of the Internet, estimated the size at roughly 5 million terabytes of data. That’s over 5 billion gigabytes of data, or 5 trillion megabytes. Schmidt further noted that in its seven years of operations, Google has indexed roughly 200 terabytes of that, or .004% of the total size.
 
/me looks at his pile of floppy disks in the corner and smiles.

Have you checked them recently? One of mine was unreadable. Entire backup, ruined. :(

You'd need an infinite amount of HDDs.

This. Think about it. The HDDs you're using are connected to the internet. You'll have to back them up then. And then you'll have to back up the backups because they're connected...

a few vhs tapes should do it

I have a few hundred. Over to you! :)
