Follow below points

1. Connect to your Report Server from SSMS.

2. Note the ItemID for your report by executing this query

SQL

select *
from ReportServer..Catalog
where Path like '%NameofyourReport%'

3. Create a job in here with the name say "AppendDatetoxyzreport" and add a step in it with the code

SQL

UPDATE [Catalog]
SET [Path] = '/PathofyourrerportfromReportServer/ReportName_' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 112),
    [Name] = '/ReportName_' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 112)
WHERE ItemID ='<itemid>'</itemid>

4. Create another job with a name like "RemoveDatexyzreport" and add a step in it with the code

SQL

UPDATE [Catalog]
SET [Path] = 'PathofyoureportinReportserver/ReportName',
    [Name] = 'ReportName''
WHERE ItemID = '<itemid>'
</itemid>

5. Now set your AppendDatetoxyzreport job schedule to execute first, then the Report's subscription and then the RemoveDatexyzreport.
