Claim 14:
15. A management server for performing data management and de-duplication on a storage server, wherein the management server comprises:
a server-to-user equipment (UE) application programming interface;
a non-transitory memory configured to store:
instructions; and
a storage index indicating metadata describing a plurality of tables stored at a storage server; and

a processor configured to execute the instructions, which cause the processor to be configured to:
detect, by a listener application of the management server, that a request to add a new column of data to the storage server has been received;
transmit, using the server-to-storage application programming interface, the new column of data to the storage server to instruct the storage server to store the new column of data;
store, in the storage index, metadata describing the new column of data;
update, by a scanner application of the management server, an inclusion list to include the new column of data, wherein the inclusion list indicates folders in the storage server to be scanned by the scanner application;
determine, by the scanner application, that the new column of data is a duplicate of a column of data already stored at the storage server based on the metadata describing the new column and the metadata describing the tables; and
transmit, to a UE, using the server-to-UE application programming interface, an indication that the new column of data is already stored at the storage server, prompting a user of the UE to perform an action to delete the new column of data recently stored at the storage server.
