1) That "cd /" doesn't really do anything. But luckily it doesn't do  
any harm either.
2) I think "tar -xvf terminal1" should be "tar -xvf terminal1.tar"?

You could clean this up a little further, because it's not really  
necessary to copy the tar file, extract it and then remove it.

--------------------------------------------------
rm -rf /home/terminal1/*
cd /home
tar -xf /usr/BACKUP/terminal1.tar
