Shortcut for moving forward and backward through Time Machine

it might seem obvious but AFAIK there are no shortcuts for that. use the mouse.

I can't imagine replacing a simple mouse click with something like
Cmd-Ctl-Shift-Fn12-page up

It's noticeable that the menu disappears when entering TM, meaning that the usual assignments of shortcuts in the KB menu have, at least for the present, unknown values, if any at all.
What kind of shortcut would take me back to December 25, 2007 anyway? The trackpad and trackpad bar work.

It's possible to open TM with a shortcut or script, but from there one is on the dark side. 🙂

I am accessing a remote Leopard system through a Hamachi VPN tunnel and then using screen sharing, I am attempting to use the time machine application to restore data.
On a 6M/800K DSL connection at each end, this is a painful if not futile task because of the animation. I simply cannot see the mouse to click in the correct spot.

It would be nice if Apple had a preferences setting that allowed the animation to be turned off.

I'll keep digging for a solution to this problem.

I found a fix. Turn off the Time Machine animation using the 'secrets' tool available here - http://secrets.blacktree.com/edit?id=2460 .

I'm having a worse problem. I'm using Screen Sharing to log onto a Leopard server right here in my office but when I try to "enter" time machine to restore a file from the backup, Screen Sharing just seems to lock up completely (and I have to use the ESC key to get control back). I'm quite sure that I was able to restore a lost file a couple months ago, so I think this is a recent development.
