Unfortunately GitLab doesn't support that option. You would need to mount a Gitlab with the same version as the one you have, recover the backup there and then update THAT Gitlab, that way you'll have an updated database that you can backup and restore on your installation.

My advice would be to use Docker for the old one (https://hub.docker.com/r/gitlab/gitlab-ce/)
