What is the best approach to implement this requirement in HTML5 ?

What and who is the site for? Why do you consider storing such large amounts of data in every user's browser? – Daniel Schulz May 21 '14 at 14:22

If you want to make sites (like html pages, images, resources, etc.) offline available just create a manifest file and declare your server-delivered files to be locally cached. If you'd like to storage data for these sites offline use localStorage therefore.
But I assume that 2 GB is way to big -- most browsers are configured to take something about 5 MB. If the website is for internal use only you may change browser preferences therefore; but for public websites this may be a major issue.
