Free, not even reg-ware. But if you interested you can also get a 14 day trial SQL Backup trial and the ebook (or just the ebook). As an added bonus there’s not just one eBook but two! The 86 page “Become an Exceptional DBA” and the 49 page “SQL Server Best Practices”.

The "Becoming an Exceptional DBA" eBook feels like, at initial glance, to focus as much on soft skills as technical ones. “SQL Server Best Practices” seems much nor dense and very tech focused.
