It seems like there is not a backward compatibility option to upload the new version report to a older version server.

    There is not, but you can edit the file. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38902037/ssrs-report-definition-is-newer-than-server/ – bitnine Aug 24 '16 at 03:29

this is a 2 step process.

  1. On the Project Properties page, set the targetServerVersion to SQLServer 2008 R2, 2012 or 2014

enter image description here

  1. Deploy from the bin folder of your project. (if you are manually deploying/uploading).

When building the report, VS2015 will create the RDL file in the \bin directory that targets the correct version of SSRS

You can also right Click | deploy from your project if the settings above have the relevant values
