Using Folder Sensor with /backup

@VMCosco wrote:

I am running HA Supervised. I would like to monitor the size of my backup. Was going to use:

homeassistant:
  whitelist_external_dirs:
    - /backup

sensor:
  - platform: folder
    folder: /backup

But I get the following config errors:
not a directory @ data['whitelist_external_dirs'][1]

and

Invalid config for [sensor.folder]: not a directory for dictionary value @ data['folder']. Got '/backup'.

I have also tried '/backup' and '/backup/'. Is this folder just not available to accomplish this?
