Your final CI export is in the following file:

-rw-r--r-- 1 gitlab-ci gitlab-ci 90K Jan 27 12:12 /var/opt/gitlab/ci-backups/1453914753_gitlab_ci_backup.tar

Directory permissions to restrictive for root to access:

ll /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-ci
total 32
drwx------ 4 git       git        4096 Oct  1 15:18 builds

Manually fix:

sudo chown -R git:root /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-ci/builds/
sudo chmod -R g+rwx /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-ci/builds/

Wait and see if the next upgrade fixes/breaks things.
