By the way, data doesn't need to be backed up by HSM to be migrated. There is an option in the management class you can select that REQUIRES a backup before migration but if you don't have that turned on; you can successfully migrate data without a backup. There is no relationship between deleting data with space management and whether a backup exists or not.
