#1 As it is asynchronous with safety mode off, we need to manually force a failover, but this would likely result in possible data loss. Let's say we have 2 servers x, and y, assume x being primary, and y being secondary. Suppose x goes down, we do a force failover to y, and now say x comes back online, it would then automatically assume the role of mirror. However, the mirroring session would remain suspended, until you manually resume it.

#2 Please refere #2 by Kevin.

I hope this answers your question.

Thanks
