Which "message" are you referring to that tells you 'there are no files to backup'? Can you provide a screenshot of it?
Also, by display filtering, i meant you might have enabled some Filters on your Differences dialog window such that it doesn't display files that meet certain criteria.
For example, press Ctrl+R with your Group profile highlighted which will start a manual run. After scanning, the Differences window will be displayed.
Depending on the SyncBackFree version you are using, there is a Filter drop-down menu at the top left corner (only applies to V7, but unfortunately, you didn't tell us which version you are using so this option may be somewhere else in other older versions of SBFree).
Click on the Filter menu and you will see there are options which you can check so that certain files meeting certain criterias are not displayed, for example:
- Show skipped files/folders
- show changed files
etc
enabling any or all such options may leave your Differences window totally blank because you have told it to filter out such proposed file entries, etc.

When you are at that Group settings page which displays this option (Modify > Main), press F1 for more info.
The corresponding section within the Help file already explained in detail what that option does.

Take a look at the 1st option of the Compare Options settings page? It's the one just above the "Do not show Differences...." option I told you about earlier.
