Questions & Answers about Tenemos la copia de seguridad en caso de que haya un ciberataque.
Why do we use the subjunctive haya after en caso de que?
The phrase en caso de que (in case that) always triggers the subjunctive because it introduces a hypothetical situation or a precaution for something that hasn't happened yet. Here, we don't know if a cyberattack will actually happen, so we use the present subjunctive haya.
Could I use por si instead of en caso de que here?
Is copia de seguridad the standard way to say backup in Spain?
