lost shared folders after migration from sbs 2003 to sbs 2008

I migrated SBS 2003 to SBS 2008 with MS instructions and everything seamed to go fine except I can not find the shared public folders in exchange 2007.  I still have the old server connected to network.  I have a backup of the public folder, before migration.  I would appreciate any ideas on where to start to recover from backup or I am just missing something?

My guess is that you didn't allow replication to complete.

If you followed the MS instructions, then Exchange would no longer exist on your SBS 2003, correct?

Your right!  At the end of replication all of the files on the original server were gone. ? Maybe they were stuck in the que?  What is the best way to retrieve data?  Do I reinstall a exchange server and restore the files or can i some how restore the public files only on the new server?

I disagree.  I did provide you with an answer... even though you may not like what you've heard it is sound advice.
