SQL Recovery. You Want Me To Do What?

We have a small SQL DB that houses our document archive. The person that runs it made a mistake and erased some data so they asked me if I could recover it.

I followed along here until about 4:10 in-

At this point he has his backup DB and his original both mounted and then starts blathering about "just use some transactional SQL statements here or any third party tool to sync them"

Seriously? This is the recovery process for a DB? Just start Googling for some third party apps?

Please tell me I am missing something. Can't I just delete the original and use the backup copy?
