Yes, auto migration will suffice. Use the HSM ADDVOL command to have HSM manage a nonSMS volume. You'll define it as a PRIMARY volume. You can specify the days to keep the data sets on the volume before they are migrated with the MIGRATE(days) keyword. You should also specify the THRESHOLD command to indicate high and low thresholds. Backup only applies if you want to additionally create a backup copy of the data sets. Backup doesn't delete the data sets after the backup, so you'll essentially have 2 copies.
