VLAN failsafe can be used with trunks without issue. VLAN failsafe will only kick in if no traffic is seen over the VLAN for the specified time period. There's more info in the link below.

Alot of my customers use a dedicated VLAN for network failover. In my experience a switch is always placed between the interfaces. In theory, a crossover cable could be used between the devices but I am afraid I haven't tested this. The below might offer you some guidance

I hope this helps but if not, post back here and I can give more info.

 

 

Thanks,
