Retention can be set from both "Backup and Restore" Tab and "Storage" Tab. You can set it from any place either "Backup and Restore" or "Storage"tab, it will be applied to the Backup Sets (.bkf files) being created by that backup job. For further clarification I have attached the screenshots. Hope it helps.

You can't change the retention period the backup set after it is created in a disk storage.

To change the retention period of future backup sets, you got to change the retention settings in your jobs.
