Migrating shared drives and files to new server

We are installing a new file server on our network. Currently our file server is also our mail server which we need to separate. What is the easiest method to migrate over the shared network drives and files onto the new server?

Our current server is Windows Server 2003 R2 standard ed x64. The new server will most likely be Windows Server 2012.

Also since this is a file server, I guess you will need to copy across the shares, you can backup the lanmanserver shares key and restore to new server saves you time.
