Comment:

 {{{
 +        0 2 * * * tar -czvf config_backup.tar.gz /etc/gitlab/gitlab-
 secrets.json /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb ; mv config_backup.tar.gz
 /srv/backups/config_backup$(date -d "today" +"%Y%m%d%H%M").tar.gz
 }}}

 here, i would skip the `mv` and why not backup all of /etc/gitlab? so just
 do:

 {{{
 tar -czvf /srv/backups/config_backup_$(date -d "today"
 +"%Y%m%d%H%M").tar.gz  /etc/gitlab/
 }}}

 I'm surprised it's not /var/opt/gitlab-rails/etc gitlab too...

 otherwise lgtm, assuming that /srv/backups exists...
