add "Volume Retention" to pool resource in bacula-dir.conf, example:

Pool {
    ...
    Volume Retention = 6 days

}

(http://bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/
Configuring_Director.html#9184)

* restart bacula-dir (or reload on console)
* on console: update volumes -> Volumes parameters -> All Volumes from 
all Pools
