All that said: My back-of-the-envelope math says the Internet is order
of 1 exabyte/day, as defined by my own rules on what counts as "the
Internet"[*]. I could easily be wrong, but you asked.

Which means that you could get somewhere between 11 and 17 days (depending
on how far off my math was) worth of all of that onto LTO-5 carts and load
them on a 747F.  Where you'd fly them to, I'm not sure.
