I was trying to enable backup, following Azure recommendations step by step guide, and following error:
No registered resource provider found for location 'ussouth' and API version '2018-01-10' for type 'locations/checkNameAvailability'. The supported api-versions are '2018-01-10'. The supported locations are 'westus, eastus, northeurope, westeurope, brazilsouth, eastasia, southeastasia, northcentralus, southcentralus, japaneast, japanwest, australiaeast, australiasoutheast, centralus, eastus2, centralindia, southindia, westindia, westcentralus, canadacentral, canadaeast, westus2, uksouth, ukwest, koreacentral, koreasouth, francecentral, australiacentral, southafricanorth, uaenorth, switzerlandnorth, germanywestcentral, norwayeast, westus3, jioindiawest, swedencentral'.
I've read some entries with similar errors (different API versions) and would appreciate advice on how to solve this

I might be wrong, being located in Europe and not often using the US located datacenters. But are you sure about the provided datacenter location "ussouth"? I can't seem to find it under the official Azure locations.
I assumed ussouth is South Central US, and according to the guide I've checked was a valid location, as it's a a service provided in all datacenters - but the guide might be outdated, I'll doublecheck it
I think that's the error :-) if i search for South Central US, the shortname is "southcentralus"
Get-AzLocation | where {$_.displayname -like "South Central US"}
Location : southcentralus
DisplayName : South Central US
Providers : {Microsoft.AAD, microsoft.aadiam, Microsoft.Addons, Microsoft.AnalysisServices...}
Thanks @Martin Tästensen , but I tried to change the location and the service blocked any attempt.
I'm trying to enable backup using the tool provided via Advisor in which I can only change the vault name and choose the VM I'd like to backup (creating a new one). But as soon as I pick the resource group OR change the vault name, the error pops. I cannot choose locations here.
And by blocked, you mean the same error as before or a different error?
Which azure advisor recommendation are you following? Is is the one named "Azure Backup should be enabled for virtual machines"? And if yes, which steps are you following.
From what i can gather, the resource provider is part of "Microsoft.Media" provider (source: Microsoft Learn
Have you tried activating that provider manually? So find the subscription, in the left pane go to "resource providers", search and register the one named "Microsoft.Media" and give it a go again?
It would still be usefull if you could provide what step-by-step you are following or just the name of the recommendation :-)
